[QUOTE="Texas, post: 658758, member: 42267"] [b]D7100 - trouble with "A"perture pref mode and depth of field preview button - FIXED[/b] My new-to-me used lens arrived today. Time to take some pictures with it. Put it on the D7100 and in A mode. Cannot change apertures with camera wheel, picture review shows it stuck at f22 (max value). Unlocked the lens aperture ring and noticed lcd shows apertures change as they are changed by turning the lens aperture ring. Tried the depthOfield preview button, - nothing. Reasonable I suppose, seems the camera/lens is already stuck at max F stop number. Ok, put on another lens (which also has a max F stop lock) - same symptoms. OK, that means its the camera being weird. Tried both lenses on my D90 - no problems, both work just fine. Back to the D7100, check menu to see if I have reassigned the DOF button, yes that's it. But cannot get changes made in the DoF button option menu to 'stick', hoping to get 'preview' to stick. Must be 18 choices. Tried two green dot reset - no change to the problem/s. Took out battery for a while - no change, ("A" function does not work on the lenses, no DOF button reset-able to its default in menu, camera/lens combo is stuck at max F stop)... The fix was to use the top menu item "reset custom settings" - all works OK now, both lenses. Except that I've not got some work to do to get my favorite settings setup. Wondering what strange mode I put the camera in that actually disabled the ability to set set apertures in "A" mode and to make selections in f3 "assign preview button" ? [/QUOTE]
