Hi,
I was trying out some features yesterday, I tried to use Exposure Compensation in M mode and it appeared to have no affect upon the image captured.
I have since read the manual on this feature, p112/113 and the wording is not clear to me.
Is this effectively saying it will only affect the exposure in P, S & A modes?
I assumed 'exposure compensation' worked like a neutral density filter and just reduced or increased the exposure via its internal 'software'. Does it actually change the shutter speed & aperture and only work in P, S & A modes?
I was attempting to get a longish exposure (0.5 - 2 secs) on a beach on an overcast day.
I appreciate any clarification i can get on this subject.
Cheers.

At values other than ±0.0, the 0 at the center of the exposureindicators will flash (modes P, S, and A only) and a E icon will be
displayed in the control panel and viewfinder after you release
the E button.
Mode MIn mode M, exposure compensation affects only the exposure indicator; shutter speed and
aperture do not change.
