Operate A Nikon N65

The Nikon N65 uses standard 35mm film.


The Nikon N65 was a basic, consumer-level 35mm camera that used standard Nikon mount lenses. An inexpensive body, the N65 was designed to be easy to use. Because it accepted a full range of Nikon Auto Focus (AF) lenses, this inexpensive body was capable of capturing photographs of exceptional quality. Although no longer made, the N65 is still available second-hand. A second-hand N65 with a good lens is a solid camera for a film photography enthusiast.


Instructions


1. Install a lens on the camera if one isn't already attached. To install the lens, line up the red dot on the camera with the red dot on the lens and twist the lens in place until you hear a click.


2. Turn the camera power on. The power switch is around the camera's shutter release on the left side.


3. Open the back of the camera. The back releases via a lock on the left side of the camera.








4. Slip the film canister in the camera so the tongue faces down.


5. Pull the film leader across the back of the camera until the end is even with the red leader mark near the take-up reel on the right side of the camera. Make sure the film is flat as you pull it across.


6. Close the back of the camera. The film automatically will advance.


7. Set the exposure mode dial to "P" to engage automatic multiprogram mode. This mode will select the best shutter speed and aperture for the conditions the camera senses.








8. Remove the lens cap from the lens.


9. Point the camera at the photographic subject and press halfway down on the shutter release. This will engage the camera's auto focus.


10. Once the image is in focus and composed to your satisfaction, press the shutter release to take the picture. The film automatically will advance to the next frame
