How to Use a Nikon N75

Nikon introduced the N75 in 2003 as a top of the line film single lens reflex camera with a lightweight, plastic body. This made it a less expensive but no less powerful alternative to the F5 or F6 models. The body's features include a focus and depth of field preview, image stabilization, flash and multiple exposure modes. Using the N75 is intuitive for most Nikon camera users, since the controls are in roughly the same place, and the body uses Nikon's F mount lens series.

Instructions

- 1
  Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the camera body and insert two fresh CR2 batteries. Close the compartment securely.
- 2
  Remove the lens mount cover from the lens and the camera body. Align the dots on the lens mount to the dots on the camera body, insert the lens and twist until locked.
- 3
  Turn on the camera's power by rotating the switch on the top of the camera body to the "On" position.
- 4
  Slide the camera-back lock-release lever down and open the camera back. Insert a fresh roll of 35mm film into the left side of the camera back chamber and stretch the film leader over the shutter area. Align the end of the film leader with the red mark, and then close the camera back to complete film loading.

  Select your shooting mode by turning the dial on the top left side of the camera body. The N75 offers automatic, semi automatic and fully manual modes.

  Adjust your aperture or shutter speed, if necessary. Use the thumb dial on the back right of the camera body to adjust the shutter speed, and then press and hold the aperture symbol button while turning the same wheel to adjust the aperture. Your settings display in the LCD screen on the top of the camera.

  Compose your image by looking through the viewfinder and adjusting your lens or position. Lock the auto focus by pressing the shutter button half way, and then press the button fully to take your picture. The shutter activates and the film automatically advances, preparing for the next picture.
