Xt5 aperture priority

[Jillthepill]

I’m trying to figure out how to get my new xt5 to activate aperture priority mode with my prime lenses - they don’t have a switch on the lens barrel itself. On the xt3 this wasn’t an issue so I’m sure there must be a work around on the xt5?

There are usually a couple of ways or so to do this, have you tried:

Set the shutter speed to “A” and then use the lens’ aperture ring to choose the f-stop. Or

Use the command dial for f-stop by way of set the shutter speed to “A” as well as turn the aperture ring to “A” as well and then use the front command dial to change to f-stop.
