[QUOTE="hark, post: 672936, member: 13196"] The +/- button is for exposure compensation. Do you mean the front dial? As Marcel and Sparky said, a variable aperture zoom will change the aperture ONLY when the you are shooting wide open or near wide open and begin to zoom. For example, a zoom lens such as the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G will shoot at f/3.5 when set at 18mm. However, as you start to zoom out, you will see the aperture begin to stop down on its own. By the time you reach the end of the zoom range (55mm) the aperture will show f/5.6. Even if you shooting at 18mm f/4.5, as you zoom out, the aperture will stop down to f/5.6 at 55mm. If you are shooting at 18mm with f/5.6 or stopped down further, the aperture will then remain constant when zooming. You say this just started. What lens is being used, and what apertures change? Please be sure to indicate the focal length (such as 28mm) when it happens. [/QUOTE]
