This n5005 nikon won't take a picture and i have put brand new batteries in it. when i press the shutter release button, the red LED lights inside blink + and - and a flash button like a lightning bolt. why won't it take the picture? :( (by the way, i am new to this non-digital camera)
Try these steps:
Set camera into Manual Modes:
ASA/ISO: 200
Shutter: 125
F Stop: 4
Lens: set to M, not S or C
Now press the shutter button.

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS BASICALLY AN ERROR WARNING THAT THE SHUTTER SPEED IS NOT RIGHT FOR THE LIGHT CONDITION AND THE LIGHTNING BOLT USUALLY MEANS THE FLASH IS NEEDED. IF THIS IS A FILM CAMERA, IT IS PROBABLY WANTING YOU TO PUT IN THE CORRECT EXPOSURE SETTINGS FOR THE CONDITIONS. DOES THIS HAPPEN WITH ALL CONDITIONS? HAVE YOU TRIED OTHER SETTINGS ON THE CAMERA? LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE HELP.

BOY! THAT IS STRANGE! I CAME THINK OF NO REASON THAT THE CAMERA IS STOPPING AT THE 26TH SHOT. THERE ISN'T A SETTING FOR THE SIZE OF FILM, IS THERE? LIKE 24 OR 36? I DOUBT THAT THE FILM HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS. IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING WITH THE CAMERA. IF YOU HAVE THE CAMERA MANUAL CHECK IT FOR A SETTING FOR FILM SIZE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MANUAL, GO TO THE NIKON WEBSITE AND ENTER YOUR CAMERA AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE ONLINE MANUAL FROM THERE. OK? TRY THIS AND SEE IF THIS HELPS.IF YOU NEED MORE HELP, REPLY TO ARCLIGHT1217
WELL, THAT EXPLAINS THE STRANGE BEHAVIOR! WHAT A LOUSY THING TO DO, SELL A CAMERA THAT WAS DROPPED AND NOT TELL SOMEONE! YES, I'M AFRAID THAT REPAIR PROBABLY IS THE ONLY OPTION SO I'VE INCLUDED A COUPLE OF WEBSITES THAT WILL GIVE FREE ESTIMATES. GOOD LUCK! SORRY I COULDN'T DO MORE!

thank you! problem solved.
Thank you, both of the recent solutions helped. I have gone through 2 film rolls and when using each of them, the camera stops taking pictures right at the 26th one. I am using DX coated film as the manual says to, but I was wondering if there is anything wrong with the film i am using or just the plain camera. Any suggestions?
oh man! i just got some film developed today and four of the pictures had this reddish orange blur. the recent owner of the camera says she dropped it and took i to the store along time ago and they said it costed alot to fix it. dang it! oh well, i guess my camera's broken. but i'll try and see if i can get it fixed for a reasonable price. but thanks anyways for your help!
