If you have the lens set to the lowest number, you should be seeing a FEE error on the display. The lens needs to be set to the highest number, typically 16 or 22.

You have to replace the whole door. There is one on eBay, but you won't like the price. Find it here: eBay

The mechunism is jammed. Rather than force things, I would take it to a camera service shop that works on Nikon to unassemble the camera to get to the locking pins. Then they can find the fault and service the camera for you.

Hey colettekm,
What this message should mean is that a non G-type Nikon lens is being used and its aperture is not set to smallest aperture which would be the largest number on the aperture ring on the lens. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Allan

SOURCE: changing lens

Yes, That's the beauty of an SLR. When the mirror is down, the shutter is closed. No light will reach the film unless you would happen to fir the shutter and it would only give you a blank shot on your roll.

Nikon makes a good macro lens, the 60mm. Tamron and Tokina are also good.

nachbor,
Not knowing if you are shooting in auto or have recently switched from manual to auto shooting you may have adjusted your f-stop on the lens, make sure you adjust the ring to align with the auto setting (the f-22 in red letters) with the dot on the lens) then the camera will be allowed to open for enough light to take the shot.

What does fee mean

It means that the lens is not set to its smallest aperture. Turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest aperture (largest f/number). You can control the aperture from the camera body, the same way as on a lens without an aperture ring.

Message: Lock lens aperture ring at minimum aperture (largest f-number) I think I'm doing this but the message won't go away and the camera won't work.

You must lock the aperture ring to f/22, so the camera can engage the aperture adjustment lever on the lens. Then, you can change the aperture with the command wheel.

When you change the aperture with the command wheel the aperture ring on the lens doesn't move when the camera actually adjusts the lens aperture.

Take the lens off and locate the aperture adjustment lever on the lens mount.

Unfortunately, this won't work with older AF lenses. So if you are using an older lens, the only thing you can do is change the camera setting to M (Manual) to adjust the aperture on the lens yourself.

FE E code????

You're using a lens with an aperture ring. Turn the ring to set the aperture at its smallest opening (largest f/number) and lock it if the ring has a lock. You can control the aperture from the camera the same way as with a lens without an aperture ring, or let the camera control it.

What does fee mean ?

It means that you have fitted a lens which has a manual aperture control and have not turned the aperture ring to the smallest setting (highest number). The F65/N65 controls the aperture from the camera body instead, via the command wheel.

If this is not the answer, then the tiny switch at about the 7 o'clock position (as you look at the front of the body lens mount) which senses that the aperture has been set to minimum has either failed or has sheared off completely. If so, your camera is totally uneconomic to repair as it's easy enough to get perfectly good N65/N75 and similar models for nothing via your local Freecycle and Freegle groups.

Film display says FEE and will not take a picture. How do I fix it?

Your lens has an aperture ring, doesn't it? Turn it to its smallest aperture (largest f/number) and lock it if the lens has a lock. Adjust the aperture using the command dial on the body, not the ring on the lens.

You might not have your lens set to the minimum aperture setting (the largest number) if it is a non-G lens.

PICTURE

vickiep24,
Since you didn't mention anything about shooting in manual settings I'm going to guess you have been and the camera work there in shutter or aperture mode, so make sure you set your lens's F-stop back to the auto position - check the dot on the lens ring with the f-stop numbers (usually in red) like the f-22 make sure they are aligned when in auto so when the camera needs more light and the lens can fully open to give it the light it is asking for, then it will shoot otherwise it won't. Does that make sense.

FEE reading on n65 camera

Make sure your lens has the aperture ring to the minimum f-stop number, i.e. (f-22, f-32, largest number) and the focus switch set to 'S' or 'C'

Flashing letters in lens

Turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest aperture (largest f/number) and lock it there if it has a lock. You control the aperture through the command dial on the camera body, not the aperture ring on the lens.
