DOP displaying instead of shutter speed

EOS 60D. I did something, but I don't know what, to change the shutter speed display to DOP. This happens when I am in Av or Tv mode, not in full Manual or Program mode. I need my shutter speed back! I scanned through the manual, and I triied clearing custom functions. No luck in fixing the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK..You have inadvertently activated the AEB - automatic exposure bracketing mode.  To cancel it, press the Q button, navigate to the exposure compensation - see the 3 bars? Rotate the vertical wheel next to the shutter button until the 3 bars become 1.  The 2"5 just tells you at  it takes 2.5 seconds exposure, I believe.

 

Here is the manual on how to do it (set or cancel AEB)

Bless you, Diverhank! Fabulous. I was photographing a black bear when I screwed up the camera. Fumble fingers. :))

 

Hope to see you on Cozumel.

what you are seeing is a slow shutter speed - thats 2 seconds at f/8 exposure.

John, you are absolutely correct! Five gold stars to you. I am so happy to have shutter speeds again that do not require a tripod. Thank you, thank you!

John, This weirdness happens when I am in Av or Tv mode, but when in full Manual or Program mode I see the shutter speed as is normal. A mystery to me!

Is it displaying the letters DOF or is it showing a number like 5.6 or 8.0?
