I can't adjust aperture manually using my D80 + 18-135 Nikkor lens. As in, I set the A (Aperture) mode, and scroll the sub-command wheel, but *nothing* happens. The scroll wheel works fine for S (Shutter Priority) mode. I always thought I was just retarded and couldn't use my camera. But I really *can't* adjust aperture. What's the problem here?

Not a D80 owner, but don't they have two command dials? Try the other one.

I'm using the right one, unfortunately. Still under warranty. I'm thinking about sending it in.

I had trouble with a command dial on my SLR while using a battery grip. I removed and reseated the grip and it was fine again. Probably not your problem, but worth a try maybe and certainly worth keeping in mind for anyone who does have a battery grip.

I have had no problems with my command dials while using my battery grip, which has been attached to my D80 since last year, or about the time it arrived at my door.

Good for you, but that doesn't help anyone at all. Why is it whenever someone explains a possible problem there's a rush for others to immediately explain how problem free their own lives are? If I said I was crippled and in a wheelchair would you immediately tell me that you've been walking around for years and even go dancing at the weekends with your partner and had no problems with your legs at all? It's not helpful.

I've got them with cameras and I tend to keep the battery grips on at all times too. I've seen if happen with Canon and Nikon cameras. It's not exclusive to one in particular. The battery grips can cause problems with command dials on various models. It's an obscure, but known problem. Like I said, a simple reseating of it is enough to fix it in those cases. Likely a little build up on the contacts and creep to blame. A year and a half of use with one camera before it happened (grip on from day one and never removed). The fact that it is not as serious as it looks and easily remedied (reseated and worked fine ever since) is worth mentioning and can save someone a trip or the cost of having it looked at. The first time it happened to me I was worried the camera was dying, but a methodical check and search online and asking other photographers found out the problem. It's a good tip and I've been sure to mention it whenever the topic arises as a check that is worth doing.

I'm sorry for sounding smug; I didn't intend for that. Come to think of it, why did I post that? Oh, right. This is 4chan. I've been infected.

Anyway, thanks for your tip. I'll be sure to remember it.

have you tried changing it in M mode? or with a different lens if you have one?

you may also check your options to see if you didnt turn something on that put both aperture and shutter on the same wheel in their respective modes

Didn't expect this thread to get much of a response.

Shutter priority uses the wheel on the top, right hand corner of the back of the camera frame. Aperture priority uses the wheel right in front of the shutter button. S works fine, but A doesn't. And the wheel should work in APERTURE mode. -_-

Not the problem for me.
