I have a D3100 with an AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED lens. A few weeks ago I noticed that, after replacing the battery I could not select an aperture lower than f/3.5 -- I thought that this was strange, removed the battery, fiddled a bit with the controls and it worked. It happened again, later - but I shut the camera off, then turned it on and after refocusing it was okay. I have a photo gig tomorrow, so I was recharging both of my batteries. When I re-inserted the battery I noticed that this problem re-appeared - but even stranger was that I could adjust the aperture upward of f/50, but not lower than f/3.5. I noticed that the only thing that actually reset this was to auto-focus the lens - then select the appropriate aperture. Removing the battery, lens, or resetting the camera has no affect. This is re-creatable by removing the battery for a few moments.
This is my first digital Nikon. I am buying my second one next week (D7000). Is this a feature of this camera / lens combination or is there a problem with my D3100 body or my lens? Thanks.
