Nikon 8008's do jam when the batteries are nearly dead - turn the camera
off (though it usually will not go off...), drop the battery holder down
a bit for a few seconds, push the battery holder back into place, and
turn the camera back on (it has always been OK for me after doing this).
Replace the batteries as soon as possible. It would be nice to have a
battery check on the 8008, since there is little performance difference
noticeable with fresh or exhausted batteries, just the occasional jamming.
BTW, all Nikons will go to the actual end of the roll, which is usually a couple of frames more than 24 or 36 exposures.
Hope This Helps
