p.1 #1 · Canon 50D main dial

The main dial on my 50d has not been working for a while now and I just want to figure out what is wrong. Maybe I have some setting for it to be locked? Can anybody help me with this? Thank you much.

Have you made sure the power switch is all the way, and not just at the 'on' position.

It's a 2 stage on switch. To make the rear control dial work it has it be past the on part . There is a line that points to the rear dial

Yes, it is all the way on. I am talking about the dial next to the shutter button

Are you pressing the shutter halfway to activate the dial?

What mode are you in...when your in any of the creative modes the dial works...in any of the auto modes with the icons the dial doesn't work.

Do you have a grip on it...sometimes it's the contact...turn the wheel on the grip,see if it's loose,if so then tighten the wheel on the grip.

I can move it and everything back and forth but nothing happens. The light meter doesn't move. And also when I'm in manual mode and changing settings it doesn't move the highlighted option either. Only the wheel dial on the back does
