Does the f/number get reported to the camera? If I (manually) set it to 2.0, will I see that on my LCD / in my viewfinder?

No it does not. But why do you need to see the f stop on then screen? You can see it on the lens
1840094
No it doesn't show up at all - it reads at 00 on my Canon 6D. You just look at the lens itself to determine what aperture you're set at.

I shoot with a 70-D and yes it shows up on the info in the camera, in the view finder and the LCD screen.

When numbers are flashing 0 you just begin to ride and it will calibrate for you. If it's showing and X I have no idea.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

yes - exactly the same except, for example, the X shows XIF data as an aperture of 4.0 instead of 2.8 which is the actual lens f stop loss of a 1.4 teleconverter. The X wasn't out when I bought mine but I'm not sure I would have cared anyway. Take care.

I've only had it for less than a week, haven't encountered that, sorry. I use the optical viewfinder mostly, don't really look at the images until I'm back at the computer.

Had to look this one up. Apparently it's related to the EV +/-2. I suppose that's a yes then? Aside from two efficient auto modes, the camera has a "Program Auto" mode, in which you can change the ISO, white balance, focus, and metering mode, as well as the that EV bit.

Yes. Sounds like a faulty lens. It works at all f stops. Check if there's a ton of dust in the back of the lens, but that's about all you can do. Also make sure that the camera works with other lenses at other f stops, so you're sure it's not the camera.

Indeed, the camera hasn't got a "total number of shots" counter accessible to the user. Mine has nulled the file-numbering three times though, so I know I have over 30 000 shots on it. - It has been semi-retired now for the 5d Mk III, so it will only operate as a backup camera in the future (still working perfectly though)

I believe it is 12800 or 25600 by default. I set mine to 12800 as max due to noise. But you can change the auto ISO range. Yes you can set the shutter speed to any setting and the auto ISO will compensate for the shutter speed. My only warning is at high shutter speeds except in good light, the ISO may get pushed to a point a lot of noise is introduced.

There is a button/switch to select between the view finder or the LCD. If the view finder is selected the LCD is off; if the LCD is selected the view finder is off. When the view finder is selected and you press the playback button, the last picture is displayed on the LCD (and the view finder is blank), and then when you press the shutter button to terminate playback mode and return to shooting mode, the LCD goes blank and the viewfinder is again active.

Thanks John. Sadly, I have just tried with no success. Just in case we are talking about different scales, I just bought the HBF-400. Even though the LCD display does have kg & cm indicators (unlit), I cant seem to find a way to make them work (i.e. change to metric). I have been playing with the buttons in order to find a way through. I am sure there has to be a way to access a factory settings mode... I hope there is one.

Need more information on camera settings. I have has no issues at all and there were no firmware updates to lens to add variable except camera.

My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

I have the original DSC-H20, and we gave the DSC-H20/B to my father-in-law for Christmas. His looks and is almost exactly the same as mine, but it has a few more options in the manual and program modes. Specifically I recall that he had more shutter speeds and focus distances to choose from. Edit: Sorry, I was mislead! My camera was missing some ISO speeds, etc. in the menus for some reason (stopped at 800 instead of 3200). But they just appeared. Must have been a firmware glitch!? :(

I'm sorry but I don't know. I never had that problem with mine. My problem was the LCD display showing erratic characters on it.

I didn't see any difference. I am very happy with mine, it woulds like I believe it should. There was only one issue with the viewfinder which in my opinion become too easily detached, but I am sure that's only my model. I would say do more research on this 1d in comparison to others. You can always buy and return it to if you don't mind spending a few bucks on shipping it back if you don't like it.

For the change of aperture you need to turn the ring ( close-open). Yes, LCD will show any change of ISO, shuttle speed, that is the function of camera
