<p>I just recently picked up a Nikon F801s 35mm SLR with a 50mm f1.8D lens to get into film photography. (Lens is brand new, body is used).<br />I'm very new to shooting this format, but have had some experience with DSLRs.<br />I'm not sure whether I'm just missing something or if my camera is broken.<br /><br />First time I went to take a photo I kept getting "lo" (indicating underexposure). This was using ISO 400 film and was indoors. So I thought, well okay, maybe it is just too dark, I'll go outside. I went right into the sun, switched on Aperture Priority, and even with my aperture at f1.8, it still wouldn't select a reasonable shutter speed, just kept saying "lo". It literally doesn't matter what I do or what mode I choose. If I put it in manual and use the sunny 16 rule outside in the sun the electric analogue display indicates the exposure below -2EV. I just pointed the camera outside my window just then using an aperture of f1.8, shutter speed 30, and it still says the shot is underexposed! So something is obviously wrong.<br /><br />I've checked the batteries. All new and at least 3/4 full still. Doesn't appear to be any corrosion in the battery chamber. <br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br /><br /></p>
