I have to go to the Quick menu, toggle to the Aperture box, select, then change. 5D MK3, 7D, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, 24-70mm f/2.8L, 16-35mm f/2.8L, EF 1.4x TC MKIII, Nissin Di866 II, Nissin Di466

I checked my custom functions and the big wheel on the back is set to change aperture in M mode. Strange. I'm on 2.0.0.

lizzle Member 80 posts Joined Jun 2011 More info | Aug 19, 2012 21:08 | #10 I locked it so long ago - entirely forgot about that, lol. I think I locked it because I kept bumping it on accident, and decided to go with the shift + small wheel instead.
