Nex-5R Aperture setting

Agolindo — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 17:24:15 GMT

I have a second hand Nex-5R Camera with standard 18-55 mm. Emount lens..

It seems to work very well BUT I am unable to set the Aperture when in A Mode nor set the Shutter speed when in S Mode. However I can set the shutter when in M Mode, but not the Aperture.

Can anyone tell me if this is:
1 A fault

2 A setting problem

3 Something that can be fixed.

I have tried to load a sftware version update but already have the latest one so installation is refused.

Hi Agolindo,

Welcome to the community.

I'll look into this for you and see if I can find out. Someone else in the community may be able to advise in the meantime.

Thanks,

Pascale

Hi Agolindo,

This sounds a bit unusual, as you should be able to set the f number in the A mode, the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and ISO sensitivity, while in the S mode, the camera automatically sets the aperture and ISO sensitivity. So, when you try to use the control wheel dial to change the aperture/ shutter speed, does the camera display an error?
