After charging battery, this problem has come up. Letter L appears when attempting to change aperture. All other modes are ok.

Do you have the lock switch on the back engaged? Page 47 in your manual?

That lock for the wheel is probably it. by default it's set for that.

Yep Lock button. It's a dumb mistake but rest assured we have all made it at least once :)

I rank it up there with the "Oh my camera won't focus" error - which turns out to be because you accidentally nudged the viewfinder diopter dial :(

Everyone (nearly) will have done something silly, but the main question remains, will you come back to the thread and reply? Or flick the switch and carry on about your day  :p

I joke of course, we all make sill mistakes, mine used to b leaving memory cards at home after driving 100 miles to go shoot some pictures. :lol:

I don't even have a 6D BUT can you set the lock switch to lock what you want? I use it on my 70D but sometimes it would be nice to have it just lock everything but the shutter button. lol

The lock switch to my knowledge only locks the rear dial.

My most recent boneheaded mistake is wondering why my shutter release half-presses weren't doing anything in one-shot AF mode. I thought the camera had frozen up. Turns out, I was unintentionally half-pressing the other shutter release button (on the battery grip) with my wrist. This is when I realized why the battery grip has its own on-off switch.
