My Nikon F55 shows 'Err' when i turn it on. The camera is inactive since. Can anyone help me understand and fix this problem ?

The Nikon D-90 users manual says on page 256 that the ERR message indicates a camera malfunction and that it can be cleared by releasing the shutter.

I've found on my D-90 that the only way I can get the shutter to release is my turning the camera off. When I turn it back on the ERR message is gone and the camera functions as it should.

Occasionally, I have had to remove and reinstall the battery to make the camera turn off but this happens only rarely.

The users manual says if the condition occurs frequently or persists that you should contact a Nikon authorized repair center. I suggest that you contact Nikon tech support at www.nikon.com to see what they suggest. I think this information would apply to the D-80 as well.


The r05 is not an error message. It is an indication that the camera is shooting in burst mode (multiple shots with one button push) and that you can shoot five more shots before the camera must pause, clean its cache and be prepared to shoot again.

Try removing the lens. Turn it on. Press the shutter a few times. Re-attach the lens and try it.

The F55 was known in North America as the N55, and you'll find a manual for it at

Hi Guest, the ERR is not a good thing. Try a factory reset found on page 129 of the manual. On the left side of the camera is the terminal cover, inside below the USB connector is the reset switch. If that does not work then it will need to go to Nikon.

The N55 and the F55 are the same camera; the N55 name was used in North America and the F55 name in the rest of the world.

if you think the camera is worthy, since its old how much is it worth to you vs a new one

I had the same problem with my D70.
Ended up having the shutter repaired at the tune of $135.
Works fine now.
