[QUOTE="jacob_ski4, post: 695981, member: 46253"] Okay, with that information let's see if I can better describe what's going on. As I adjust the zoom ring from 18-55mm, the aperture should adjust with the change in zoom as you explained. At 18mm I should be at F3.5, and at 55mm I should be at F5.6. This is how the camera has been working until now. I just went through some pictures I took yesterday to confirm the settings when the photos were taken and what's happening is as I adjust the zoom ring, the aperture number is no longer changing when I adjust the zoom. For example, I have photos taken at 55mm and F5.6... but I also have photos that read being taken at 18mm and F5.0 (when the it should be F3.5). Like I said in my original post the aperture will not go below 5.0 no matter the zoom level. Another thing worth mentioning is that you said "The aperture will stop down to the selected setting at the moment the picture is snapped. Otherwise it stays wide open to let the most light in for focusing". This isn't happening in manual and aperture-priority mode. If I look at the aperture through the front of the lens, it stays very small no matter the zoom, staying in that F5.0-5.6 range. It isn't opening up past that. [/QUOTE]
