>>4363970>But does it also show a value on the compensation meter?Well, taking five minutes to play with the camera and see how it works (I only bought it last Saturday myself) this is what I found:
In M mode the exposure meter on the right is always shown. Turning the exposure compensation dial modifies the value shown there, you're basically dialling in the sight so you can aim at dead centre.
In the other modes there isn't much use for the exposure meter, on its own the camera will just try to keep things at 0 anyway. So it becomes an exposure compensation meter instead, hidden entirely to reduce clutter if the exposure comp is set to 0, and otherwise showing you the value for exposure compensation that you've selected. (This may not be massively important to have on screen if you use the knob for exposure comp, but remember that you can set the knob to C and use a command wheel for it instead.)
