Ripley Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) My Canon 30D seems to be stuck on one aperture on the M setting. When I was trying a manual exposure, I found I can adjust the shutter speed, but not the aperture. This camera was bought brand new a year ago from B&H. Any suggestions on how I can clear it? Or do you think it's stuffed, which would be just my luck after dropping and breaking my 70-200 L lens 2 months back (Received a cheque in USD for a replacement one for that though as it had a brilliant warranty which was bought with it).

kja Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Two things 1 - make sure the little ON lever is flipped all the way up. If it's in the middle on some models you cannot change aperture. 2 - if that isn't it, does it do it on all of the lenses? Sometimes a lens won't mount properly and this can cause the problem. Let us know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubiton Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Agree with kja suggestionss. The on switch not being all thre way on can catch you out as the wheel doesnt work on the middle setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks for the help, guys. I tried all that, it wasn't the on button or the lens. I've noticed it's been like that for a while but when I really wanted to put it on M it wouldn't shift. Tonight I cleared all camera settings but this time cleared all custom settings too. That has fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
