- ISO button is poorly positioned, and cannot be assigned to any other control point.
- Ditto white balance: poorly positioned, cannot be re-assigned
- Exposure mode dial slightly loose, and easily knocked
- Shooting mode dial can be awkward to manipulate
- AF can be hesitant in poor light
- Auto ISO function is confusing and poorly implemented (but no worse than any other Nikon DSLR)
- Aperture not adjustable in manual mode in live view (and won’t stop up/down in any mode until exposure).
