Exposure Compensation not working in Manual mode

    Hello everyone,

    I was trying to exposure compensation on Manual mode, and unfortunately it did not record the compensation even if I had the dial on +1 or +2, etc.

    On Aperture priority, it worked fine. And automatic.

    Any suggestions?


    Thanks!

    That's what manual mode is about, you compensate exposure with your aperture value and/or shutter speed.

    Interesting... because you can adjust your exposure compensation on all other manually driven digital cameras. And the X100 manual says you can do it for some fine tuning...

    That's what I find weird: the EV values will not be correct if you could adjust your exposure without adjusting aperture or shutter speed. In A-mode the exposure compensation is done with the shutter speed (because you want you aperture to be a certain value) and in S-mode the aperture gets changed because you choose the shutter speed. In manual you want the control over both: why shoot manual when you don't want that?

    My DSLRs have no exposure compensation in manual (Canon EOS 1ds MkII and MkIII) by the way. The way I expect it to be.

    Ah yes... might have just been an oversight! You can actually adjust your EV values on a DSLR, but it will not affect your final result... oops!

    it should have worked so we could have 1\3 stop increments without using the crappy wheel on the back .... oh well
