Hello everyone,
I can't seem to change my aperture in manual mode with my Canon 5D III
I have read the instructions which does not explain very well. I checked the lock
on the back. Maybe someone here may know what to do. I hold the little * button at
the same time turning the wheel on the back, but nothing happens.
 
Can't you just turn the aperture ring on the lens? I mean, it is "manual" mode. Admittedly I use old glass with an adapter so I have to change everything myself directly on the lens. Sorry if that's not the answer you're looking for.
 
Hello Legion,
I guess you can. I am using the Canon 50MM @ 1.4 but I would like to know what is going on with my camera.
 
Does the aperture ring auto adjust fine in the various auto modes? Have you tried a different lens to make sure the problem is in the body? Checked the contacts? Tried re-seating the lens? If you're using Magic Lantern, try without. (The chance of it being ML are near 0, but it's good to be sure). That's all the trouble shooting I can think of, for now.
 
I also just turn the wheel but nothing is happening. Is their a setting or something that I should have on in one of the menus. I tried another lens and that same thing happens.
 
In the 5D2, you had to go somewhere deep in the menus and turn "manual exposure in video mode" to on
