Yesterday my D810 started displaying an aperture error when I went to use it, even with the lens set at f22 (aperture ring on lens) it was throwing up F-EE errors and rotating the ring through manual on Aperture priority would give me f22, f11 and f8 on an older 80-200 f2.8 ED Nikkor lens.
It was also showing aperture at f90 which has me very confused.
I've searched and searched, haven't tried doing the 2 button full reset as of yet after seeing people mention online it makes no difference.
I also tried it with a 24-105mm lens (Nikon) no change, an 85mm f1.4 Rokinon (non cpu) lens, an old 35-70 Nikkor lens (from my old F601) but not my 75-300 because I gave up and figured there's a problem somewhere.
I cleaned contacts on both camera and lenses with contact cleaner on camera lens cloth with no change.
The F-EE I'm familiar with if lens not locked at f22 (locking makes no difference as long as it's set at f22 it's fine) but the F90 confused me considerably, I've never seen that before
Is it time to send it to a Nikon service centre and if so, anyone recommended in NSW (sydney I'm guessing)?
Thanks!
Update:
It appears the camera works with a G lens, the problem is I only own one cheap, nasty G series lens and it's a DX lens (18-55mm).
I can manually rotate through various f stops and as long as I set the aperture on the screen to match where I move the aperture ring it seems to be continuous in luminance of the image but it constantly flashes between the chosen aperture and FEE.
I guess it's back to Nikon service because I can't find anything online.
With access to a strip down manual and I'd be prepared to have a go at it myself and while I can remove the camera mount ring (and did so last night out of frustration) I'm not prepared to go further without instruction, I don't want to destroy the camera, just get it working properly.
If it's of any use to anyone I did find a Nikon Z6III repair manual from Nikon themselves.
Not much help to me, I don't own a Z6.
