Hi, I have problem with new Nikon FA (I can sent it back, I bought as untested):
Seems like P and S modes are both OK (testing with Nikkor 55/1.2 AI)
When I change exposure time in S from 1/2000s to 1/60s it changes aperture from f=2 to f=16 which is OK for me.
But when in A or M mode:
If I choose smallest aperture f=16(or 22 on other lens) it says 1/30s, but when I'm constantly changing aperture to wider (f=8, f=1.2) exposure time is getting __longer__ not smaller, it shoudl have for example 1/125s at f=8 while it says 1/8, and at f=1.2 it says 1s or even LO.
I've downloaded user manual for FA and it says exactly what I think - that exposure times should be shorter and shorter when opening aperture wider.
I've tried to change metering mode from matrix to center weighed - no effect.
I've tried differnt set of batteries (from FM2) - no effect, and FM2 works on battersies from FA.
I see that aperture numbers in iewfinder (via aperture direct readout ADR) are not fitting in their small "window" - they're cut in half.... about....
So maybe some mechanical damage?
Lens mount with standar click, tight, all seems the same as on F4, FM2, D3....
I checked 3 lenses: AI, AI-S and AF-D, all three the same effect.
I checked without loaded file, I've checked with film, I set exposure compensation to 0 and ISO to 200 (matching film speed used)
I tried before start frame no.1 and untill frame no.5.... so no hardcoded 1/250s .... still A and M modes broken....
Any ideas if camera is broken - or I'm doing something really wrong???
Best Regards.
