Thank you!
If you can find a MB-18 battery holder on ebay, you might want to pick it up. It allows the camera to run off 4 rechargable AA batteries, instead of the expensive lithium batteries. I wound up getting two n75s that had the MB-18 already attached that is why I have two of them. In fact one even came with a second spare battery insert.
The battery pack would also let one use an n75 with a broken or missing battery door.

Wow. Thanks for that bit of intel. I hadn't even thought to look for one.
Off topic: I have the Fisher 220 stereo receiver my dad had when I was a teen and a mint-shape Yamaha CR-1020 stereo receiver I bought years ago and have never used. Vintage audio equipment is a lot like old vintage cameras.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone here is still shooting with this camera and can help troubleshoot?
I have multiple Nikon cameras, including an F100 and some Z cameras. I also have multiple film cameras including a Leica, so I am relativley proficient in most cameras.
My daughter recently bought an N75 as an upgrade from a point and shoot that she has been using for several years. It came with a 28mm Nikon lens (I think a D one). She is having trouble getting it to focus in low light. She's a college student, so primarily using it out parties, restaurants, etc. She knows how to shoot in manual mode if she thinks hard but I thought the N75 would be good for her since she can put it in auto and pop up the flash and use it as a "better" point and shoot than her Minolta Weathermatic.
I have a D700 and I can put up the popup flash, put the camera in auto and take a photo in a dark room no problem. I had assumed that the N75 would behave similarly, although since the camera is older I realize the AF might be slightly worse. But she can't get it to take a photo at all unless she is in a well lit area.
Is there some custom setting she should check for on her camera? She lives out of town at school so I am having a hard time helping her from a distance. I've looked through the manual online but not having the camera in front of me it's hard to suggest anything.
I really thought this would be an easy segue into a nicer camera for her, but it's proving to be very frustrating and she is considering returning the camera.
I will add she bought it from a reputable camera repair shop (Pro Camera in Charlottesville, VA) where it had been CLAed. The camera guy will take it back if she truly can't get it to work but I really feel like there must be some simple setting we are overlooking.
