can t assign aperture

[stefanocps]

hello after a reset of my xt3 i can t anymore use aperture through the dials. I have assigned the aperture to the front dial, (both alone and with another command), i have assigned  it  to the rear dial..but it looks like no assignment is never done. Lens is set not to A

what am i doing wrong?

thanks

Do you have Aperture Ring Setting in the Button/Dial Menu set to Command?

right! i did that for the iso, but i did not remember i had to do it for aperture also!

But strangely i have to set the lens on A rather than manual. why?

That’s just the way it is

That's because setting the lens to anything other than A is telling the camera you want to control aperture on the lens. A is the setting for body control of aperture(same as on the ISO and Shutter dials)
