Hello everyone. This is my first post here and I'm a new member. I apologize for the noob question, but I'm relatively new to the SLR world.

I own a D200 with the 18-200 lens.

I recently noticed that when shooting at 18mm, the shutter speed and aperture readings in the viewfinder and the control panel were exactly the same. However, when I start zooming, I noticed the display values in the viewfinder change accordingly to the zoom level, but the values in the control panel stay the same as when the lens was at 18mm. Is this normal behavior? Why would the values display differently on the control panel than in the viewfinder?
Once again, I apologize for the noob question.
