I cannot change the f stops of the lens but only with the dial on the camera. Is there a way to change this? When I try to change it so I can change the f stops on the lens? The reason is because no matter which f stop I chnage on the dial on the camera, the lens opening is the same. I recently did I film speed test with the camera and it came out all wrong b/c of the f stops. Do I have the wrong lens? I am currently using a Pro AF Zoom lens. If anyone knows what is wrong with it, or what I can do to change it, please let me know, it's my favorite thing and i would hate for it to be broken!!   P Laskey Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

It's these that communicate the aperture set on the dial to the lens itself. (try it with a Nikkor AF lens as well). If this doesn't work there may be a problem with the cameras electronics. PL
