jorgen_udvang Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Check that it's on minimum aperture, f/22 I believe. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen_udvang Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Oh, and remember to switch off the camera while changing lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raja_ray Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Thanks. Already tried that. When I set the mode to manula (M) blinking on F-- stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raja_ray Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 D80 manual says that F-- blinks when "No Lens Attached" or Non-CPU lens attached. However, 50mm f/1.8D is a CPU lens. Solution is either attach lens or select mode "M". Is it that I can't use any mode except "M" (manual) for that lens? I'm not able to take any picture in other mode. I will really appreciate early reply! Thanks Raj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prashanteju Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 set the aperture to 22 or higher depending on the lense. Turn that small switch off making sure you can not move the aperture ring, put the lense on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raja_ray Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi Prasant, I did as per you suggestion. But it didn't work. I don't know what wrong I'm doing. Thanks Raj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilly_w Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 <Is it that I can't use any mode except 'M' (manual) for that lens?> Not true. The lens ought to be fully functional in every mode. But if you are in a pinch then Manual it is 'til you can get it sorted or serviced if need be...in which case you'll need to swithch the AF Mode lever (under lens release button )from 'AF' to 'M'. Have you cleaned the lens' electrical contacts? Examine but probably little need to clean the camera's electric contacts considering its' young age. Do you have access to another AF body on which you can test the lens and another AF lens to test the D80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raja_ray Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Thanks for your suggestion. The problem is I am attaching the lens loosely. Kind a silly -:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Please keep in mind that if the aperture is not set (locked) at its minimum, the error is a flashing fEE. When the body cannot communicate with the CPU in the lens, the error is F--, which means either the lens has no CPU or a bad electronic contact.

BratNikotin Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 <p>I had that problem, when my apperture ring on the lense was not locked. Once I make sure it's fixed and locked on 22, everything is OK</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
