Exposure compensation stuck in lock. HELP!

[Seanac]

Hello,

I was out taking photos a few days ago and was messing around with settings. I went into the custom functions (c.fn) menu I believe and changed the exposure level increments to 1/2 stop. I quickly changed it back because I did not want 1/2 stop, I wanted 1/3 stop.

Anyways, after I did that, when I try to change the exposure compensation on aperture priority mode (the mode I mainly use) it says “LOCK” and I have to manually press “q” and select the exposure compensation if I want to change it. I used to just be able to change it on the normal settings menu.

Sorry if this seemed confusing, but does anyone know a possible fix? It’s annoying to have to go and press Q each time and select it if I wanna change my exposure.

Go into your Menu pages and clear all camera custom functions and reset camera settings.

What camera body are you using?  It sounds like you have one of the midrange models, which have a [LOCK] button on the rear panel.  When enabled, you may see “LOCK” or an “L” in the viewfinder.

77D, immediately after it happened I found the settings reset button and clicked it but it didn’t get rid of the lock

Update : just looked and the lock button is accidentally switched up. Fixed now. Thanks!
