[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 503281, member: 27017"] Yes [USER=10742]@FredKingston[/USER] that would be OK if the shooting scenario was always the same, but with what I seem to be shooting most (BIF) it can be in many different directions and conditions. Clouds, bright sky, trees etc for backgrounds thus creating different lighting. I usually shoot "S" priority for BIF with a shutter speed of 1250 or 1600. The sky can vary extremely in the brightness, but it is still too bright for the dark birds. ISO is fixed, Shutter speed is fixed, so fStop is all that changes. The EV biases the aperture, but still lets it change for brightness. It is not a situation where I can shoot, look at results, adjust and shoot again. If I could do that then Manual would be the way to go. And then there is the question, why have EV compensation on the camera if you don't use it. Ha! Again, I am just trying to comprehend how to use it because it is there. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
