I have bought my D90 body only and i am using the 35mm F1.8 Nikkor lens with it. I have a problem with highlights that is blown out a lot , someone i know shoots with the same lens and the D300 body and there is a day and night difference in the exposure .The d300 captures the light correctly but the highlights are blown out on the d90's shots . I done a shot yesterday in the shade under a tree and aperture and shutter priority and manual on girl with a white dress .seems to be very overexposed when i try a depth of field like f5.6 or lower .The shots was done in the middle of the day.i had to shoot f11 or up for highlights not to be burned. Can you please tell me what is the cause of this.the same day i done a shot of grass on a farm in the morning at about 9am , no light was shining in the lens f4 or 5.6 in aperture priority and lost contrast and burned highlights occurred.
That's the Nikon error message for a lens with aperture ring set to something other than the minimum (i.e. highest number).
The camera insists on controlling the aperture ring, and to do so, the ring must be set to the minimum setting.
Unless it is a "G" lens, which has no aperture ring whatsoever.
The camera body sets the aperture of the lens wide open while
auto-focusing, and displaying through the viewfinder. When it comes
time to flip the mirror up and take a picture, the camera dials the
aperture to the setting you (or the camera) have selected.
