[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 133983, member: 13090"] I'm sorry Chris, and maybe it's just me, but I'm having trouble following what's going for you because your posts do not use specifics and sometimes your usage leaves me bewildered. For instance, the ISO setting does not have a "Manual" mode; do you mean to say you have turned off the ISO Sensitivity function and are using a specific ISO setting? You say, "let the exposure shift 1EV prior to resetting the meter to 0EV. But how can I do this with a meter jumping wildly..." which makes no sense to me: a meter does get actively "set" since meters only display information. A [I]function[/I], or a [I]menu option[/I], requires a setting. I'm also confused how you "let the exposure shift" since exposure is the result of using a specific f/stop and shutter speed; I don't understand how it could... "shift". And how much is "1 EV"? It almost sounds like you're trying to use the Exposure Compensation meter in the viewfinder as a a light meter while in Manual mode which really confuses me. [/QUOTE]
