Nikon err message

[lildeezul]

Hi, i have a nikon n50 camera, it doesnt have any film or an attatched lense.

WHen i power it on it comes on with an error message.

does anyone know the problem to this


It says the follows : err Cpu



i am guessing the camera itself is bad huh ?

 

[ANDS!]

Before the snarks come in:

WHAT is the error message.

 

[Photog]

It says the follows : err Cpu

.

 

[lildeezul]

yeah sorry. i am totally a newb,

it does says err, then next to it, it says cpu

 

[ANDS!]

.

Whats the period for.

Also, if there is no attached lens, then its most likely saying "CPU error" because of that (ie, CPU Contacts on the lens not detected because there is no lens connected).

so more than like the camera is in good shape right.

its just that i dont have a lens correct.

i wonder if i put a lense on will be garunteed ok ?

the only way you can tell if it's in perfect working order is to try a lens on it and see if it works. What you just said would be like buying a car without a motor and expecting to be able to just put a motor in it and assuming everything else is in perfect working order. If that is what you believe I have some cars to sell you.

but no put a lens on it and try it out.

This is happening because your camera isn't a Canon :mrgreen:

i just put some film in, the lense is on good. It might be the battery of film?? idk

First step is probably to read the manual and look for what the error messages mean.

Aside from that, power the sucker off, pop out the batteries, put a known good lens on it, put the batt back in and turn it on and see what it does.

probably aperture not at f22? just a guess. the N50 is the same as the F50 right? I have one and that's what it means.. should also be a aperture blade symbol on the display as well.

 

[lildeezul]

yeah it apperature blade on it with the MIN message.

i tried setting it so F22, but still error message pops up? wierd huh?
