I have a N6006 from years that I started using again. I have it programmed for automatic and aperture at 22 however shutter is staying open unusually long time. Is it too late to be resurrected.

Janis, welcome to the Hog!
Just simply change the Aperture to 4.0 and it will close quicker!!!
Or throw it away and get a real camera!!! LoL

Unless you have quite a bit of light and a fairly high ISO, exposures at f/22.0 are going to be fairly long.

If an N6006 malfunctioned then the likelihood to get it fixed is slim but I don't think there is anything wrong with your camera.

New camera might be best but emotional attachments are hard to break. Will try your suggestions though thank you

That f/22 is letting very little light through. That makes for long exposures, esp since no film generally available is anywhere near as fast as most digital sensors. Even in daylight the exposure times could be measured in multiple seconds.
Sunny 16 rule is (for ISO 100 film) 1/100 second at f/16 - this is for bright sunlight. Slower film will be even longer exposures.
Stray thought, you don't have the shutter set for bulb do you?

If the camera is on Bulb the shutter would close as soon as he release the shutter release button. I think there is nothing wrong with her camera it acts normal.

I know the N6006 is a film camera, I researched it before posting.
I was saying that film is slow compared to most digital sensors and at f/22 anything but bright sunlight will give a slow shutter speed = shutter seems to be open forever.
If you use "quote reply" we will know exactly what you are replying or commenting on. Not much of problem on this thread but on some of those with lots of posts it can be helpful.

Is there a reason for the aperture of 22? In most situations an aperture of 8 or 11 will work just fine, and lets in a ton more light. If for some reason the camera is stuck at f22, it is time for a replacement.

Okay, the first place to start is with the manual. A thorough study will be helpful to you. Fortunately its available on line (all 108 pages):

The Nikon N6006 is more complicated than just point and shoot. I suspect you will find that you may want to change the camera settings to get where you want to go with this.
