Nikon d60 When I try to take a picture with the

I have a Nikon D60, and it has numerous settings, including aperture and shutter priority, and others. It sounds like you have have it set in aperture mode, set for f/16. First try taking a picture in dimmer light, where it's not so bright. That should cause the shutter to open longer. The camera will adjust the shutter speed to take the best picture at f/16 if it's set for that.To adjust it to something other than f/16, on my camera, you use the thumb wheel on the back of the camera. Try changing that if it has a thumb wheel.

Next try it in Auto mode by rotating the dial on the top of the camera to the green setting and see if you get a batter picture.

If all else fails, consult the camera manual, if you have one.

Good luck!

Set the aperture to its smallest opening (largest f/number) and lock it. You can control the aperture from the camera, the same way you do it on a lens without an aperture ring.

i`m afraid your lens electrical component is not working properl,
try to change with antoher lens and shoot

do not forget to clean the connector plate on your camera and rear side of the lens using dry-clean cloth

if the problem`s still exist, i suggest you to contact your local camera service center

the lens needs to be set at its smallest f-stop to work properly on your camera. The F error is telling you that the aperure ring is not at the smallest setting(largest "F" number, most likely F22. turn the ring to F22 or whatever is the biggest number and it will work. there might also be a lock on the aperture ring to keep it from moving. Good luck, Worm1855

The D60 camera sets and triggers the aperture that you have selected (or the camera has selected if in auto mode) and sets the aperture as you take the picture. Moving the aperture ring on the lens will not work, in fact once you move it from the f22 position the camera will stop or possible show and error. on my older Nikon AF lenses there is a small lock to lock the aperture ring in the lowest position when mounted on a digital camera, it is found near the f2.8 side of the aperture ring. when you want to set the apertures manually, you put the camera in aperture or manual mode and set the aperture you want by moving the the rotating wheel on the grip part of the camera. the aperture you select will show in the window, you do not have to move the ring on the lens,it must remain the f22(highest numerical) position.

Yes it is compatible with Nikon D60.

elis - did you ever solve this problem? the same thing is happening with my d60 and i don't know what to do!

The d60 needs Auto focus lenses(Ones with motors inside the lense) it doesn`t autofocus on other lenses. this was done to reduce the price of the camera body

Hope this helps

for the close up photo u have to use micro or close lens set

I will try to help you, but please understand that my experience is with Nikon film cameras. Assuming that the D60 works in a manner similar to a Nikon 35 mm body and that Sigma macro lens work like Nikon macro lens, you should be able to determine the usable subject to lens distance by experimentation. First, make sure the lens is in the macro mode. To do this you must set the auto-focus mode control to the manual focus mode (see your manual). On Nikon lenses, you must first set the focus ring to infinity, then move slider switch, which has two positions marked; "normal" and "macro., to the macro position. You should now be able to rotate the focus ring to the macro range. Use the zoom ring to zoom in and out and focus with the focus ring. The the range over which the lens to subject to lens distance will yield an in focus image will be rather limited and in the range of an inch or so to 6 or 8 inches.
