5D Mark IV Unable to Remove Aperture Lock

[Embersgame]

Hi There!

So I don't have a manual to the camera, have watched several videos, and yet, it still seems to escape me (embarrassing as this is admit) how to get my aperture selection back to the assigned dial and not have to go in manually under "Q" to adjust.  Pretty much know what aperture I want when shooting, but recently needed to change it and realized in the viewfinder I keep seeing "L" and no amount of menu searching and customizing seems to change it.  I know this is probably seriously basic stuff, however, now that I can't adjust F stop quickly (and without a manual) it's driving me crazy.  Help! Please! 

Cheers! Thanks!

I ask you to be a more-aware camera owner. 

Do you even HAVE the manual downloaded? Looking at that would be a lot faster than posting on a forum and waiting for answers, don't you think?

yup -- that's exactly why we have forums.  sometimes the simplest things just need input from another person with a fresh view.  I often cannot find my black rimmed glasses on my black desk.  I look for a full 5 minutes, get frustrated and give up.  I get my daughter and she finds them in an instant.

We're all here to help eachother.
