Don't know if anybody has had this problem with their 40D, whenever I use Auto Exposure Bracketing, then try to reset after use, I don't seem to be able to set to zero, the display always indicates -1 or 2/3. Although I've managed to sort out the problem on several occasions by randomly pressing various buttons and resetting custom functions etc I'm not really sure what's going on. Am I missing something?
 
Mmmm never had that problem with mine, does it remain if you switch it off then back on again as this clears the setting?
 
Its a long shot, but have you tried a firmware upgrade, might iron out that crease.
 
When i had the 40d i just set up AEB / High Speed Continuous Shooting and the other setting i wanted for 'HDR' on the C3 button, made it dead easy to cancel it.
 
Help! I have the same issue with my AEB. Nothing seems to cancel it. My auto exposure is set to -2/3 and I can't change it. I've fooled with the custom settings, I have the latest firmware, and still nothing. The only solution I have now is to shoot in M mode- but that's just not practical when shooting children's portaits outside- they move too fast!
Can anyone help?

How could I have been so blind? It was indeed the exposure compensation and now my two photo shoots scheduled for tomorrow will be a lot less stressful. THANK YOU.
Just so I can assuage my feelings of gross ignorance- I thought it was AEB because when the expos. comp. was set to -2/3, the middle line was always there at -2/3 for AEB, and that's where I thought I should be able to fix it. Anyways, it's all good now. Thanks for your help!
