Dunno about the 6006 but I did this last week with an N2020: (a) Load the film in the usual way. (b) Depress the shutter button to wind on to the 1st frame. (c) Put on lens cap and viewfinder eyepiece cap. (d) Set exposure mode to Manual. (e) Set aperture to minimum for your lens (perhaps f/22). (f) Set shutter speed to maximum for your camera (perhaps 1/2000). (g) Place camera under blanket to hide it from ambient light. (h) Fire the shutter as many times as you need (perhaps nine times). If this doesn't work, perhaps the film hasn't been loaded correctly, or some other such problem. Bye, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.NetworX.ie ---
