Nikon D90 giving F-- error

9 years 7 months ago #401586 by Happy Hour
I have Google'd this and see that this is from camera and lens not communicating.  I have cleaned connections and re-seated a few times.  Still nothing?  

Has this happened to anyone?  What was the fixed please?  Thank you

Fee error is normally when the aperture isn't set to the smallest opening (largest number) if the lens has an aperture ring. On gelded lenses (without an aperture ring), what you did should work. Otherwise it's time to send it off to a repair shop

Scott is correct. More info is needed, like what lens, and have you tried another?
Let us know as many here can't sleep when there's a malfunctioning Nikon out there somewhere!....:(

Why so serious?

This happened to me a couple years back and if memory serves me, it was just one lens that had the connections all mucked up.  Once the connections were cleaned and it was able to make a clean connection, it was fine.

Also is this a Nikon lens, or third party? My Tamrons contacts sometimes are off because its mount allows it to shift a little in the seat. All I have to do is give it a twist, and all is happy.
