All I can do is press the AV+/- button to alter that dial to plus 2 or minus 2. Is this correct? From reading the manual i get the impression that the apperture numbers should change. My good old 350D

NickyBlade Member  157 posts Joined Jul 2005 More info | i think you are holding down the button with the star above it and zoom out below it (for viewing on camera). You need to hold down the button that says Av to the left of it. Hope this helps.

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P. More info | Jul 17, 2005 11:11 | #9 But its a bit of a finger contortion, but anyway... Actually, it's pretty easy with the thumb. Don't forget, you don't need your eye to the viewfinder to do it...use the LCD directly below the viewfinder as your'e adjusting it I don't recommend that unless you already know just how much compensation you're going to dial in. The light entering the viewfinder will affect the LCD exposure reading. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...
