Aperture Value Not Changing

Playing around with my K20D just bought from a fellow member. Going into Shutter Priority mode the Aperture value stays fixed at f3.5. I'm using the standard kit lens: DA 1:3.5-5.8 18-55mm AL II. What have I done wrong?

Hope you can help

Many Thanks

Shutter priority allows the camera to adjust the aperture to ensure correct exposure once you have selected the shutter speed, I assume that you have tried changing the shutter speed to see if the aperture then changes?

I was in a dim room! That's why it stayed on f3.5 - doh.

Well, at least you removed the lens cap - I didn't once and I didn't twig it for about ten minutes.
