I was excited about the prospect of trying the new eye focus feature in the firmware update with my 600/4 AFS D II lens when shooting sports. However, when I mount the camera and adapter to the lens, I get the fEE error and a message obscuring the viewfinder that says “Lock lens aperture ring at minimum aperture (largest f/-number).” The lens was at the minimum aperture and locked in that position at the time the camera displayed the error (the camera's error message won't go away unless I dismount the lens).
The same lens works just fine with my D4s/Df/D800 bodies. The only hangup seems to be the Z6.
I also tried the Z6/FTZ combination with a series I AFS 300/2.8 and 400/2.8. Both of those work. I also tried the Z6 with a 400/2.8 AFS D II lens a friend has, and it worked on that one, too.
Has anyone encountered problems when mounting the Z6/FTZ combo to a 600/4? I'm trying to figure out whether this is a bug in the firmware, or an incompatibility that Nikon has not admitted exists.
I suspect there is another bug: following my Z6 FW update, Capture NX-D isn't able to show the AF point any more, independently of in-camera Eye AF setting (ON or OFF, it's the same story)
Thank you! I didn't notice the SW update. Actually I could process NEF files with the previous NX-D version (1.5.2). I've updated to 1.5.3 and it works now.
Have a great Sunday!
I spoke with Nikon a few times yesterday. They say that the combination "should" work, as all AF-S lenses "should" work. Nikon is going to research and escalate the issue. I guess Nikon is not ready to admit that its product literature contains false representations.
