[QUOTE="JustinT.Caldwell, post: 813510, member: 52831"] kind of a long story, but I'll try to shorten it. I've been using the D3500 as a face camera to record YouTube videos. In 2020 I purchased a lens (the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM Lens for Nikon F) and accidentally discovered that when paired with the D3500 it bypasses the Live View "Auto Timer". I used it throughout 2021 with no issue. In mid 2022 I moved and accidentally left it in a box that ended up in storage half way across the country. this passed week I decided to finally break down and purchased a used one. I ordered the wrong lens at first, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. When I realized it was the wrong lens by comparing it to pictures of the lens I ordered in 2020 I quickly returned it. Between reordering the correct lens and it coming in the mail, I decided to update the firmware and now the lens no longer bypasses Live View "Auto Timer". Since the only thing that I've changed is the firmware, my theory is that rolling it back might work.
