[QUOTE="gpanozzo, post: 819407, member: 53278"] Hello everyone. I am a newbie and I have just bought a used Nikon d3200 with only 600 actuations. It seems new, even though the camera is a pretty old camera. Though I was on a budget and I found this to be a good opportunity. Since I had the camera body, a few days ago, I shoot in manual mode as I had a couple of vintage nikkor lenses coming from my old film Nikon. Everything was alright, even though the warning "subject is too dark" was displayed. I thought this was due to the vintage lenses. Now I received (still used but in excellent conditions) a Nikkor lens af-s 16-85 DX VR. So now this happens: Unless I shoot in manual mode the pictures come out over exposed, no matter the settings. The attached files are a picture of the settings in auto mode, where the camera is supposed to get the best settings possible, the resulting picture and the exif. What am I doing wrong?? Is it the camera faulty? Please see below a picture of the settings, the resulting picture and the exif of the picture. P.S. With the settings you see on the picture, the camera automatically pops up the flash, the shutter speed slows down to 1/60 and the picture results in an overexposed picture. As you can see from the last picture, before the flash pops out the iso meter is on the darkest setting and there is no way I can change it. That was a shoot take with the lens in position 85mm. Help please! I am thinking that the camera is faulty but before sending it back I need some expert advice! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
