Problem?
Jan 24, 2012 19:10:47 #
Today was a most beautiful day with partly cloudy skys,no wind and temp about 45.So I thought I would drive out around the lake and shoot some images.Well everything was going good when I noticed something "funny".I set my mode to shutter priority so I could blur the water coming over the dam.So I was turning the main command dial to get the speed right,and something distracted me,causing me to accidentally start turning the sub-command dial.Well lo and behold,the aperture started adjusting.Now remember I was in shutter mode,not manual.Should this have happened?I switched to aperture mode and I could adjust the shutter too.I tried it again just before I started typing this post (inside under low lighting),and it wouldn't repeat the "problem".So do I have a problem,or is this normal? I had never seen this happen before; of course I probably didn't pay attention.
Oh,I guess I should tell the model of camera. I have a Nikon D90.

Currently, my D90 is sitting in the corner, 'cause she sassed me earlier today. A little discipline can go a long way.

Using my D90, and your observations, I cannot duplicate your problem. I can only assume I am missing some information, or that your phenomenon occurs in strong daylight, not indoor tungsten lighting, where I tried to reproduce your situation.
I am hoping someone else may have a clue.

CaptainC???
Could it be a dirty dial/switch? The D90 is a year and a half old.

Ok, maybe I'm missing something, but if you are in aperture priority, and change the aperture, doesn't the shutter slso change to give you proper exposure, likewise if in shutter priority and change shutter , aperture will change to give acccurte exposure... only in manual can you change one without the other changing..

It must have been some freak of nature because mine, though a Canon SX30 decided to become posessed and behave badly. I attributed it to a feature on the camera that will "refocus" if the goes into a save power mode or if you lose focus of what you were taking a pic of because of movement you can depress a button on the back of the camera and it will start changing features. I should add it was 20 degrees here, I was on the ice on lake Superior and dressed much like the kid from A Christmas Story! So I had very fat fingers and thumbs. I was also shooting in a shutter mode...it wanted to shoot aperture and change my ISO. Naughty camera!

I missed this the first read. When in Shutter priority, you cannot change the aperture, only the shutter speed. The camera will change the aperture. While in Shutter priority, turning the Aperture dial will have no effect.

But you see,THAT is exactly the problem I am referring to.....I WAS able to change the aperture.
ETA: Yes Nikonian72,I was in strong daylight.Would that have done it?
