Oh.. didnt know changing the Exposure compensation.. my another (aperture or shutter) will switch also.. i always thought it just became darker or brighter..but aperture and shutter stays the same. OK.. ive learn something.. Thanks : )

What mode do you usually shoot in? Oh.. M mode lor
But everytime they change 1 of the settings..be it shutter or Aperture.. they switch another to match the meter.. i dont see the point. But they are proud and happy because they use M mode.
nvm..
It's stated in your manual and it helps if you read the newbie guides to understand what the camera is doing. The modes Av, Tv and P are half-automatic modes, where you adjust one or two parameters and the camera will set the remaining parameters in order to get correct exposure. Using Ev (Exposure compensation) will result in shift of the optimal exposure point, which the camera will take into consideration.Oh.. didnt know changing the Exposure compensation.. my another (aperture or shutter) will switch also.. i always thought it just became darker or brighter..but aperture and shutter stays the same.

You should state which camera model you use and consider that other brands and models differ.This is exactly the reason y I would use M mode. It's not an Ego issue but rather for convenience. The changing of ev value requires a button plus a thumb turn process. If in M mode, all you need to do is to turn the wheel to adjust the shutter speed alone. And more importantly, people tend to forget that their ev value had changed since last shot and kept wondering y they get badly exposed pictures. This is becos in AV mode, changing the ev value does not have a very significant indicator as compare to in M mode when the exposure bar will clearly show your current exposure. (Yes, u can also change ev compensation in M mode but that's not what I'm comparing here.)
If the subject is fixed then use m mode, of not av will be better right?

Just curious, is auto or scn mode can not beat clear/ clean/ sharp picture then av,p or m mode in any situation and condition?
or in the right hand and right camera auto or scn mode can produce same picture as av,p or m mode?
thanks for any info/ reply

when u use auto/scene modes, u are just a slave to the camera cos the camera decides everything and what's best.
ha.ha.ha.. it remind me of terminator movie.when u use auto/scene modes, u are just a slave to the camera cos the camera decides everything and what's best.

I personally use M mode most of the time but will switch to AV mode when I'm taking at places with dynamically changing of lighting condition.

For Canon entry level series (xxxD, coming without dial for the thumb) one has to press a button and turn the dial to change the Ev settings in Av Mode, and exactly the same is requires to change Aperture in M Mode. No 'savings' here. Secondly, Canon deactivates the Ev function in M mode (somewhat redundant, actually). In M, the meter will always show real results, no offset due to Ev settings.
Contrary to your statements (which might be true for your camera) in Av Mode when changing Ev, the needle is not centered at 0 but offset according user input. It remains stationary to indicate the offset. Since the needle is shown in the viewfinder and in LCD display all the user needs to do is to check it. What more can the camera do than to highlight this?
Do remember that on Nikon cameras, when on M mode, shifting the ev will change the bias of the meter. It is very useful when you are in M mode with a flash attached. Shifting ev will adjust flash power.
Nothing wrong with that. Most impt is what suits you more. I believe M mode gives me more control and hence I use that.i shoot in auto mode all the time.
