Can’t get aperture priority mode

[Pappo]

Hi everyone!

With Fuji xe3 I’m trying to switch to aperture priority mode following the manual instruction:

- Mode: Auto

-Shutter speed: auto

-aperture: selected in manual mode on the lense

I should see A on the bottom left of the screen and be able to change aperture from the lense, I do everything but I don’t see the A letter on the screen and cannot change aperture using the lense. It is not a lense problem because the aperture change when I use Full manual mode.

so where I’m wrong??

mode: auto?

you should be in aperture priority mode to change the aperture manually and have the other settings adjust automatically

Sorry I have to be more specific. Mode AUTO in the users manual was inteded for the aperture switch on the lense (Manual or auto). However I solved the problem because I was doing something wrong. I have another question... Can anyone confirm that with x-e3 is not possible to change aperture from the camera body if you’re using lenses with ring for aperture control but only with lenses without aperture ring control? Fuji assistance said it to me...

Are you using the large text display?

That is my understanding - and also my pratical experience with the 15-45 XC (no aperture ring) and the 18-55 XF (with aperture ring)
