So I was taking some photos down by the beach this evening, attempting to do some long exposures with my tripod. The camera was working fine for a while and then suddenly it decided to go haywire on me. The aperture would not go below f/36 on the info screens in camera and it would go all the way up to f/90 when I moved the dial around. The shutter speed appeared to be working normally, but I could not get a solid meter reading even when the camera was not moving at all and the scene was not changing either. I took this picture while it was freaking out and the "settings" were recorded in the metadata. I am very confused and somewhat concerned about what happened. Shortly after this happened and after restarting the camera several times, everything returned to normal and I continued to get a few more shots. After getting home, I looked at the camera and lens and could not see any visible condensation or anything of that sort. Could that have caused these kinds of issues?
Here is the photo, and the metadata that was recorded for it...
I was using the kit lens, 18-105mm, at around 18-35mm focal length (don't remember where I had it exactly but it wasn't very far away from the wide end).
