So I just replaced my D3200 with a D7100 and am having a bit of trouble with it. I was hoping one of you might be able to help point me in the right direction. Both in manual mode and aperture mode, I'm finding that the camera is not performing as I expected. When I set a smaller f stop (something even like 5.6), the shutter speed slows way down (1/30 and slower) and the ISO cranks way up (6400+) for it to even take a semi decently exposed picture. I'm indoors with the lights on. On my 3200 I seem to remember being able to even get a decent (but noisy) image almost completely in the dark. This is a semi lit room in the middle of the day with sunlight coming in. I'm sure there is just a setting I don't yet know about that might be contributing. Can any of you make sense of this?
I'm using my Nikon 35mm f1.8 at f2.2 to match the iPhone. I've tried matrix, center weighted and spot metering all with similar results, 0 exposure compensation, and my iPhone doesn't have any problem getting a perfect picture in the same amount of light. What am I missing? I feel like I'm going crazy.
Thanks for the help!
