Question:You turn it to match the size you want. There should be a notch or a mark to show which aperture is the "active" one. If it is locked in place, it could be that there is a button to release the aperture ring.

It usually gets locked when the ring is set to it's smallest aperture(like f/22 or something similar).

1 What camera (brand and model)?

2 What lens do you have?

Answers: normally, you'd turn the aperture ring. Can't give you a longer answer because your question is unfortunately not very clear.

normally there is a ring on the lens close to the body of the camera. here is a image that should help http://www.tpub.com/content/draftsman/14...
