Hello Blair, I too like old school camera, mine are the N2000, N6006, N80, and F100. First without film in the camera I would attempt to release the shutter. If it does then there is something going on with the film transfer causing a bind. However, If it continues not to release the shutter I would put the FM10 on the shelf then go to KEH.com for another. Just now checked KEH.com, 2014-05-26, a FM10 in EX condition is $89, EX+ condition $99. That would be a much better move than repairing yours and less expensive. Cordially

Go to Nikon website and load up the Nikon Camera Control Pro2 software. Then connect camera with the USB Cable from camera to computer. Turn on camera. Wait or click on Nikon Camera Control Pro2's Icon.

The camera should operate perfectly fine without a lens. It should also operate perfectly fine without film (other than for not taking any pictures, of course).I know this is stupid, but make sure the batteries are inserted in the proper direction. Then make sure the film advance mode selector around the shutter release button is not in the "L" position. L is for Lock, S is for single-frame, and C is for continuous.If you need a manual you may download a copy here.

Not familiar with this particular model, but have you tried removing the lens and seeing whether the aperture closes when you move the control lever ?

N65s were notorious for bad shutter release buttons. The metal is thinner than a strand of hair and they break. Search Ebay and see if the part is available to replace (note: Nikon stopped selling parts last year).

Sorry....format completely erase the pics with no hope of retrieval. If you had simply deleted them, then retrieval software could have helped.

If you had a PC there are plenty of options to recover deleted pictures This is the best I could find: http://www.any-data-recovery.com/topics/photo/recover-pictures.html

At the Time the Camera was made , Nikon lists a number of compatible memory cards. Each year both cameras and cards can read and write data faster. Cheap cards today can be read much faster than written. If any camera can take many photos in a short time, a slow cad will not allow the camera to operate as intended.

For these questions Google is much faster. Same words other page. much faster.
