Hello,
I have been using my Nikon D5100 for about 5 years in manual with no issue. Today it seems to be malfunctioning. When I try to change the shutter speed or aperture using the dial, nothing happens (this occurs in manual, as well as all of the priority modes if that gives any more information). Every once in a while, the shutter speed or f stop will flicker for a split second as if they want to change, but always revert back to the original. Yesterday I had the same issue, and it was resolved by switching lenses, and then switching back, but today nothing works. This occurs both with my AF S Nikkor 35mm 1-1.8G, as well as the AF-S Nikkor 55-300mm 1 4.5-5.6GED. If I put the camera in Auto, the camera has no problems adjusting the shutter speed or aperture automatically. Similarly, in priority modes, the non-priority setting can be adjusted automatically by the camera.
I have attached a video below that demonstrates the symptoms.
We are in Italy on vacation and really can't afford to be without our camera until we get back to the States to take it to a shop. Please advise how we might be able to solve the problem ourselves. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
