aaron_chong Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 <p>Hi all.</p> <p>Just purchased a second-hand Nikon N90/F90 in good condition. Film loading was fine, and I managed to snap a few frames before a problem came up.</p> <p>In place of where the shutter speed and aperture values are shown (on the LCD screen), there is the flashing "err" word. However, the shutter can still be depressed and more frames taken by the camera. (Although I haven't developed the film yet, and wouldn't know how these images taken with the "err" message turn out). After taking a few frames with the camera flashing the "err" message, everything seems to be okay, and the camera displays the metered shutter/aperture values again.</p> <p>The ISO icon doesn't flash, so I know that it shouldn't be a film speed related problem. It is only the "err" message that flashes.</p> <p>Any advice?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtk Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 <p> Did you verify that the lens is set at min of F22?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I will send it for servicing after this roll.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_braman Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 <p>probably cheaper to buy another n90 than to get it repaired. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 <p>It sounds more like this second-hand N90 is not exactly in good condition; rather, it is broken. Is there any chance you can return it to the seller and get a refund?</p> <p>Any repair on this N90 will indeed likely cost more than the value for this camera.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Helmke Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 <p>The last time mine went a little crazy this way it needed fresh batteries. It displayed similar behavior as I recall.</p> <p>Rick H.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
