Dave, Did you have the camera set to AF, or MF? Try it on MF. Should fire regardless of exposure setting.

I needed that camera for a shoot with print film. I had taken 8 shots on the slide roll. Now I loaded it into my 6006 and want to shoot 8 or 9 shots with the lens cap on. How do you fool the camera into shooting those blank exposures? I've tried all the settings including manual and it refuses to shoot. Do I have to take it to Nikon obedience school? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
