This is kind of embarassing... i received an old nikon f65, and i don't know how to remove the film properly without burning it...

Advance Motor gear(s) needs replacement

That indicates that there is no film in the camera, or that the film is not loaded properly. It can also appear if you finish the roll and the camera has finished rewinding.

I don't know this model but you can try this.Drop the film canister in and pull the film strip out and place on the film advance sprocket.Rotate the sprocket by hand/thumb until film is seated (1 turn). If the auto feed is working you will be OK. 2 other things ,1 of course load film in dark area, 2 check the batteries on the camera first, if they are week your film advance wont work ,Good Luck.

Odd this is the second Nikon F65 for me to write on in the last five minutes.

Here is a link to a film page about half way down there will be two links for the PDF file for the manual. Yes the man is looking for $3.00 and if you are generous you can pay him most don't

Gotta Love Film

When you get your film processed, you can request that they be put on a CD. The CD can then be read on a computer and you can do whatever you wish with the photos. For existing photos, you can also have the negatives scanned and put on a CD. If you only have prints, they can also be scanned but the quality will suffer.

When I get film processed from my Nikon 35mm SLRs, I ask for only the CD and no prints. This only costs me $2, and I can choose which pictures I want printed--after doing whatever photo editing I want.

Any camera store can do this for you, as can many department and electronic stores.

The F65 is a film camera. You must get the film processed before you can see any pictures. If you have the setup yourself, you can develop the film. Otherwise, take the film to a photo processing lab (any camera store and many department stores, drugstores, and supermarkets either have them or have access to one) and get it processed. If you're shooting negative film, you can get prints. If you're shooting slide film, you can get slides. Either way, you can also request a CD containing the digitized images.

Again, the F65 is a film camera. The camera can't show you the images it has taken.

To rewind the film mid-roll, press the two film rewind buttons simultaneously for one second. The two buttons are marked with a red film symbol, and double as the Auto Exposure Bracketing button to the left of the viewfinder and the Aperture/Exposure Compensation button to the right of the control panel.

The film is completely rewound when a blinking "E" shows in the control panel.

Yes. Be aware that due to what's often called the "crop factor" or "multiplication factor" the lens will seem even longer, about the equivalent of a 255-750mm lens. This is due to the fact that the sensor on the D50 or D70 is smaller than a frame of 35mm film.

It sounds like the film transport motor is dead. If so, it needs a trip to repair shop.

be sure batteries are inserted correctly.

cmhennings,
If you haven't found out by now mode settings are:
M = Manual
A = Aperture
S = Shutter
P = Program
If you are looking for a manual or just a camera manual in general check the public library photographic section to learn more about film cameras, you may find a N65 book
