You didn't mention attaching a lens, but I assume you did since you focused it. You must adjust exposure manually and take test shots as well as focus. Four simple ways to adjust exposure; increase ISO, decrease shutter speed, increase aperture size, increase exposure compensation. Try one or more until your exposure is the way you want.

All you need to do is make sure all the little switches are in the same position. And make sure you have it switched on batteries installed. It works great with my Nikon D3100 It plugs into the top port on my camera.

When we first got ours we had the same problem with clarity and had searched all through the menu options with the blurry image trying to find it. The plastic part around the lens is what you use to focus the image. The first time it felt like that wouldn't move but if you keep at it gently it will work and then you won't have any problems moving forward. Once you fix the clarity you can read the menu better to adjust the image size. Good luck.

I had the same problem with my D3100. I consulted the manual, all menus, I went online for tech service, and spoke to other Nikon users. It just boiled down the incompatibility issues with my specific model. I was told very cautiously that non-Nikon remotes very much have the ability to ruin the motors inside the lenses. Since lenses are the most important and expensive component of the camera (already an investment), I sent mine back and will by trying the Nikon remote in the near future. Since the description stated that it will work but however does not, shipping (up to $5.26) is refunded. Good Luck. I had the same problem with my D3100.

Thank you for your interest in our package deal! In regards to your inquiry, this lens is compatible with the Nikon D3100. You will have to use the Precision Design T Mount for Nikon included in this bundle for the lens to adapter to the D3100. Also, this lens is Manual Focus and works in Manual Mode only. Therefore, you will lose any automatic function.

That's what I have and it didn't work with mine. Now, I wasn't sure if it was faulty or if it needed another attachment. But it was all out of focus and not right at all.

Not sure. I can tell you I am struggling a bit with it myself. I have the D3100.

first things first, be sure that it's in auto mode. There's also a manual focus mode. To check all your settings, simply swipe the shutter button up, you'll see the manual setting sliders. Check if the focus slider rests in auto mode. If it is not, slide all the way to your left, and leave it there. If this is not the case, check for the updates. First you gotta be sure that you're running the latest version of both the OS and the camera app. If no updates available, try to uninstall and install the camera app again. If nothing works, could be a hw problem. Let me know how it goes. Cheers.

I have a Nikon d3100 and I had a lot of problems setting the f number,you have to try to set it before you take off the lens and attach the tube. poor quality too. my advice? save up and get the ones that can auto focus (around 50 bucks), or buy this and try it out

I placed this lens on a Nikon N80 35mm camera and the image jerked a couple of times then began focusing normally. It only happened when I initially attached the lens and first turned the camera on. Not sure if the lens is totally compatible with 35mm. Did you attach it to a 35mm or digital? Did you determine the cause and was the lens not working correctly?

I have been very pleased with mine in low light. In really low light situations I have seen some problems getting it focused. I also have a D3100

You could mount it with an adapter, however it did not work with Nikon D5000, even on complete manual settings. Resulting in fuzzy pictures. I still have it, as a useless accessory.

You have to make some changes on your camera for it to recognize the lens. The photos I took with it came out fuzzy and a lot of noise. It was because you have to use Manual Focus and I am not used to that so possibly why my photos didn't come out.

Sorry I just saw the incoming email. Let me understand first. Are you saying that there is no way to do an "autof" on your camera with the lens? Try half way press the shutter see if the focus can be achieved.

Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps
