| Snappypete Photographer  Location United Kingdom Leicestershire Market Harborough | Anyone else having this problem with a Nikon D4? It's been back once and this is after it was "fixed". Overexposes at random, matrix metering, aperture priority. Nikon say the've not seen it before, all settings checked etc no EV compensation, bracketing etc etc. Done it on two lenses so must be the body.  |

| Allinthemind Photographer  Location United Kingdom Gloucestershire | The only time I've seen this level of overexposure is when the flash was flicked on and the shutter drops to 1/250th from a much faster value. Turning high speed sync on solves it. Does the exit show that the aperture and shutter are as they should be! Are the Apertures closing, is there a bent pin on the camera body where it moves the aperture on the lens? Si |

| Snappypete Photographer Location United Kingdom Leicestershire Market Harborough | Thanks for the reply, no flash involved in this. The lever looks fine and Nikon have checked it, also the data shows the correct shots are expoesed about 1/500 F8 but the over exposed ones are about 1/8 f8. I think this is why Nikon can't work it out, its the body choosing the wrong exposure. No bracketin set, no EV set its just random and on several lenses. Its going back for an exchange or refund. Must say its the first Nikon I've had in years which has been this bad, gutted.  |

| Allinthemind Photographer Location United Kingdom Gloucestershire | If it only does it in matrix and auto, then there seems to be a bug somewhere.. As you say, new camera. If it still does it, then the matrix formulamhasnan Oops pattern. | |

| vipimages Photographer  Location United Kingdom Merseyside Wirral | is there an auto ISO setting on somewhere in the control menu? I've seen something similar on a D300 where it was metering for low light and cranking the ISO right up  |
