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!

Embersgame,

Now that you have a Manual, look to see if your AE Lock With Hold is enabled and how it's configured.

Embersgame,

I like the pdf version, because you can use the Search function of your reader (like Adobe Acrobat) to search for answers to specific questions without wading through the Table of Contents.
