Just got a very clean FE2, installed new batteries L44 and didn't work, shutter on manual does not work unless M250 or B is used. Thanks for the help

These use two of the L44 common button battery. The + sides of the battery (flat) goes towards the body ... the bump goes towards the battery holder. Check the contacts on the body and where the threads (-) contact the body. Not voltage, no work. Assuming you have 4 different batteries, can you check the batteries ? One bad one of two will not allow voltage. I have bought new button batteries that were dead right from the package. Strange two cameras are dead. They have electronic shutters. The LED should light up in the viewfinder when the shutter is slightly pressed.

Hi,

Initially, assuming a power problem, pls try to clean the battery contacts. In some instances, it may be necessary to scrape them clean or bend/stretch so as to provide more pressure to the batteries.

Otherwise, pls post back other indications, observed conditions.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Regrettably the camera requires a battery to work as it is fully automatic there are no manual shutter controls on this model

Check the battery of your remote.Try to replace new battery.If didn't work.Try to open and clean the contact of the bottun of the battery.If didn't work, its need to replace the crystal of the battery.Try this sugestion.Thanks

I own a 3-year old Venta L44 in which the motor stopped turning the wheels inside. It just sat there humming and eventually got hot. I sent an email to the Venta web site asking if they had a recycling program -- they don't. Instead, they replied (after a few days) stating that the motor was covered under the 10-year warranty. They sent me a new motor which was super easy to install. It didn't cost me a thing. It nows works perfectly.

Your Nikon is a SLR which stands for single lens reflex. The reflex part is the way the mirror that lets you look through the lens to frame the picture flips up to let the light go straight to the film. You can change the lens half way through the film roll because the mirror is down while you change the film and blocks light from getting to the film, just as it blocks the light until you push the shutter button. Have fun with your 'new' camera! I use an even older style Nikon FE2. I like my Nikon 55mm macro lens but your newer camera takes autofocus lenses so you'll need advice from someone else for that.

Try going to menu, then settings, then USB and then select MSC instead of the auto select. Hope this helps.

OH wow this is the same problem i am having. I hadn't used it for a few weeks too. and now it is doing the same thing yours is....???? tells me it probably isn't a *individual player thing*...God i hope we get a solution. I use mine for powerwalking. At least i can coonect to the PC get it started up and go. But how frustrating when i am flying etc. can't take it with me then!! Looks like i'll be getting a new one. it will be my 3rd in less than a year!!!

Did you set the camera to M90 AFTER you installed new batteries? The camera will work without batteries in the B and M90 settings, but when you install new batteries, reset the mirror by turning the dial to M90. If this doesn't correct it, I wouldn't recommend opening the camera - take it to a repair shop.

Format the card. I have same problem with mine ---requires a new shutter assembly.$40.00 item and they want $300.00 to fix it at Henry`s cameras. Ouch .Better to buy a new camera.
