Press the self-timer button located just right of the LCD control panel and confirm that the one-handed clock shows on the panel. Full details are in the "Self-Timer Operation" section on page 40 of the manual. If you need a manual you may download a copy from here. Start the timer by pressing the shutter release button as usual. Custom Setting 9 controls the duration of the timer.

No. Without a memory card the camera stores the last picture taken only so you can view it to verify proper operation. It overwrites the previous picture, and it disappears when you turn the camera off.You NEED a memory card if you want to save the pictures. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way the camera works.

Remove the memory card before connecting your camera to your computer. Alternatively, use the "Copy" command to copy your photos from internal memory to the memory card. Depending on the model of the Coolpix camera, the Copy command may be in the Setup or the Playback menu.

You're using a lens with an aperture ring. Turn it to its smallest setting (largest f/number). You can control the aperture from the camera body, the same way you do with a lens without an aperture ring.

The camera is telling you there's not enough light and to use the flash.If you need a manual, you may download a copy here.

C-o-c-k the shutter by advancing the film. You need to do this even if you don't have any film loaded.Sorry about the first word. FixYa thinks it's a dirty word and will censor it out if I don't do something about it.

I assume this is happening with a digital camera and not with a film camera.SD and SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card and allows writes.

You need to turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest setting (largest f/number) and lock it in place if the lens has an aperture lock.You control the aperture from the camera, the same was as on a lens without an aperture ring.

You may download the N55 manual here.

Just a wild guess, but perhaps the camera believes the battery voltage has dropped below a particular threshold?Try charging the battery pack. Try another battery pack if you have one.

If it's on an SLR then it means the lens is not set to its minimum aperture. Turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest opening (largest f/number) and lock it if it has a lock. You control the lens aperture from the body, exactly the same way as on a lens without an aperture ring.

Follow the illustrated instructions beginning on page 20 of the manual.

Unless the camera body is faulty (very common, the camera is long past its design life)then the FEE error occurs when you mount a lens which has a separate aperture ring (i.e.any non-G lens) and fail to set the aperture to it's smallest (highest number) setting.

As you haven't given any specific details regarding exactly how your camera is jamming then the only answer is that your camera needs a professional strip down and clean.

If you're lucky then the jam is simply due to the camera being old and gummed-up due to dried-out lubricant films, but it could also be due to parts failing due to wear and tear.

The F3 is definitely not suited to DIY repairs, and a freshly-serviced and functional F3 should be good for many more years of service. There are also plenty of them about, so repairers are familiar with them and will usually have a stock of new and used spare parts.

The only thing you can try is to see whether the jamming occurs with just one particular lens. If so then it's the lens which needs servicing/replacement rather than the camera, but a preventative CLA (Clean, Lubricate, Adjust) service on the F3 would still be advisable as they were intended to be regularly serviced. If the camera has its original foam light seals and mirror buffer then they will also be either decayed into sticky corrosive black goo by now or have gone further and dried-out and crumbled away. A routine CLA will usually include seal and buffer replacement as a one-off additional cost and as modern materials do not decay it should never need doing again.

I don't know this model but you can try this.Drop the film canister in and pull the film strip out and place on the film advance sprocket.Rotate the sprocket by hand/thumb until film is seated (1 turn). If the auto feed is working you will be OK. 2 other things ,1 of course load film in dark area, 2 check the batteries on the camera first, if they are week your film advance wont work ,Good Luck.

I'm not aware of any reason this should be an issue. The only time lenses should not be removed is during an exposure, any other time should be safe - power on or not.
