Does this include how to set the aperture?

yes it does give you some settings of aperture for different situations. Not as in-depth as it could be.

Yes you can adjust the aperture. F/2.8 is the max you can go and it can be constant as you zoom in and out. but you can lower it to say F/8 etc.

No. The aperture is adjustable in all "creative modes." That is, A, S, M and P settings. You would "force" f/2.8, for example, if you locked ISO at 100 and then selected a fast shutter speed - in other words proper exposure would required f/2.8. In the Scene modes, you have far less control. Put the camera into Auto ISO and see if you still have this issue.

you can only adjust the aperture on nikon lenses that have the adjustable aperture ring. this adapter passes no lens setting information to the camera itself. Very few, if any, of the adapters can do that and then its usually just focus. Most adapters are strictly for manual mode

John,The first one I bought from here did not have that feature. I exchanged it with Photodiox directly and the adapter did adjust aperture. It is unclear to me how to get the "right" adaptor on the first try....Cheers.

MANUAL. Use the Command dial to set the shutter speed from 1/4,000 to eight seconds and the Scroll wheel to set the aperture from f/3.0 to f/8.3 in wide angle or f/5.9 to f/8.3 in telephoto. An exposure scale below the settings on the LCD indicates exposure.

Yes... *BUT* there is no automation here. No data pass-through to let the camera communicate with the lens and no way for the camera to adjust the aperture. You will be able to use it, but unless you have a lens that will let you adjust the aperture manually, you'll be stuck using it at the highest f-stop/lowest amount of light setting.

ISO and shutter speed is set on the camera. You set the lens on F to disengage the leaf shutter. The aperture is set by pressing/locking the aperture preview on the lens. You would then change the aperture on the lens as you would normally with the v mount lenses. Sounds like a lot, but it's not that much and you'll get accustomed to it after a few times.

The camera has a manual program where you can set the values of aperture, ISO, and exposure so yes, I'd say you can. The larger the aperture, the greater blurr-out-effect you get on the objects out of focus. And yes, you can even choose the focus manually.

With your lens set to manual, your camera will function in aperture priority. The image is previewed in the aperture of your choice, and the shutter speed is automatically set by the camera. ISO selections can be made manually as if you were using a native lens. Very slick piece of gear!

No, it is shutter priority. You input ISO and shutter speed, and the unit calculates the aperture. But you can then toggle to the desired aperture and the unit will display the adjusted shutter speed. So you basically get to the same place as if you started by selecting aperture.

Hi Allison, yes you can. Set the camera to either one of these settings, Aperture priority or Manual mode and set the aperture to the highest f stop (lowest number), also change the focus area to flexible spot to enable you to choose which area to focus on. Thanks_Mitch

You need to put the camera in full manual mode. Since this adapter has no AF function it will not register with the camera. Once you're in manual you should be fine. Aperture is fixed to what the telescope is so you adjust your exposure using different shutter speeds. Then to get the shutter to release you need to turn on the "release w/o lense" setting. After that you should be good to go.

Hi Beth, yes, you can change the aperture settings as well as the shutter speed, ISO level and exposure compensation in Manual mode. Thanks_Mitch

If it can, I have not found that setting yet. I recommend the Cannon Rebel Xti. I use it at work and it is amazing. I set it on action mode and you can snap away, just hold the button! And it has settings to change the aperture for different lighting.

Shutter speed is changed with Thumb wheel. Aperture is changed while holding down iris Button on the top of the camera and spinning the thumb wheel at the same time.

The aperture must be set manually, as well as the focus.The focus by the way, will be an extremely delicate affair because of being so close to the subject. I set my f-stop with the lens on the camera normally; then reversed it. you can leave the ring attached if you think you'll be using it a lot.
