Intermittent Blacking Out With NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 Lens

26 August 2018 - 10:53 AM

Hi, 

 

I'm using a Nikon 1 camera with a NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 Lens.  The problem is that when I'm trying to focus, the camera keeps blacking out on and off with this lens.  The viewfinder goes all black for under a second each time.  If I take a picture during the blackout time, it does save a photo that is all black.  When I replace the lens with my Nikkor 6.7-1.3mm lens, the blacking out does not happen.  

 

Can anyone please help me fix the problem?  I appreciate any advice! 

 

Here is some information about NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 Lens from the website:

 

The black Nikon 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 Lens is a fast medium telephoto-length prime lens designed for use with the Nikon 1 series of mirrorless digital cameras. The 32mm focal length is equivalent to 86.4mm in the 35mm format, and coupled with the maximum f/1.2 aperture renders this lens ideal for portraiture due to its longer-than-normal perspective and ability to produce imagery with a shallow depth of field. Also contributing to offering greater control over focus placement is the inclusion of a manual focus ring, which can be used in both manual and auto focusing modes due to the M/A manual focus override capability. When working in autofocus modes, a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) focusing mechanism provides smooth, fast, and quiet focusing performance that is ideal for use when recording HD video.

Nikon video footage zooms in and out on its own :(

29 April 2018 - 05:53 PM

Hi,
Video footage of my Nikon1 V2 zooms in and out on its own. This happens all throughout the video footage. It's not dramatic zooming in and out- more on the subtle side, but it's definitely very noticeable and not professional. I can see it straight on the camera's playback. It's made my video capture unusable.
I'm using the Nikon V2 camera with the 6.7- 13mm lens. It's so unfortunate, as I paid so much for the camera and lens, and it's otherwise perfect :(

Please, does anyone have a solution for this problem? What could be causing this?

Any tips are appreciated.
