[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 542158, member: 40735"] I'm finally getting around to shooting regularly with my recently acquired refurb D7100, and am having trouble getting good photographs in Aperture Priority mode. I was wondering if others have experienced these issues and know of a fix. [LIST] [*]Manual lenses (AI, AI-S, AI-converted) are the main issue. The photos seem consistently overexposed and / or blurry. For some reason, the calculated shutter speeds for a given aperture seem lower than they should be. I usually shoot in Auto ISO mode and have tried tinkering with the Max ISO and shutter speed settings to no avail. Ultimately, I'm having to shoot in M mode with these lenses for acceptable photos, but would love to hear of a workaround to get good shots in A mode. [*]AF-S kit zooms: These give me better shots in A mode, but occasionally I get overexposed / blurry shots and have to switch to S with a shutter speed of 1/125s or faster to get proper shots. [*]modified TC-16a: This is a special case where I'm mounting manual lenses on a modified TC-16a that the camera thinks is a 70-210 F4 AF. Here, performance in A mode is terrible, but its not fair to blame the camera, and I'm having to shoot in S mode with 1/125s or faster shutter speeds to get decent exposures. (@salukfan111 - have you experienced this and perhaps know of a fix?) [*]Alternatively, is there a way to confirm if my D7100 body has an inherent problem with A mode? Because its still within the 90-day warranty, so I could still send it in for a fix if needed. [/LIST] Thanks for reading! [/QUOTE]
