A few months ago I noticed my Pentax ist DL was acting a bit strange. Any of the lenses I attatched suddenly didn't work unless I changed the aperature on the lense to "A" which I assum is "Automatic". When on this setting, I can change the Aperature on the camera by using the Av button.
However, if I take the Aperature on the lens and set it to anything other then A, be it 22, 16, 5.6, etc. the camera refuses to shoot a picture. The display on the camera shows "Av--" instead of "Av(insert Aperature here)".
I don't know how to fix this issue, I've tried reseting the camera settings a couple of times. It used to work...I don't understand what's wrong. Could someone please help me? I have some lenses which don't have the "A" setting on the aperature ring so now I can't use them.
Any adivce would be wonderful, thank you.
