Hi All,
I bought a D3500 kit with the AF-P DX 18-55mm VR lens and an AF-S DX 55-200mm VR lens some months back, but for various reasons didn't get much time to use it.
I have just come back to it and now I can't get either lens to autofocus at all.
If I press the 'i' button, I can see that AF-A and single point autofocus are set (I've tried others as well), but if I go into the full menu system and go to the shooting menu and check 'Focus Mode' and 'AF-area mode' they both just display '--'. I Can try and set them here too, but as soon as I go back to the menu, they are blank again.
When trying to autofocus the 18-55 kit lens, nothing happens at all except the red light blinks in the center of the screen for the focus point - no attempt to autofocus, no motor noise, nothing.
The same with the 55-200 lens (although if i switch on the VR, I get a bit of a whirring noise).
I have tried in P,S, A and full auto modes.
Both lenses work fine with manual focus.
All kit is clean and pretty much brand new.
