Been trying to set up my new 70D to shoot in M mode, a relatively easy function in my Rebels. I have BBF focus set and the dials set to adjust aperture and shutter speed. What I'm not able to do is to get the Exposure Level indicator to activate. I do not have Auto ISO set. I have spent a lot of time reviewing the manual but am at a loss on how to solve this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.:)

I am not familiar with the 70D, but doesn't the exposure indicator show up on the bottom of the viewfinder like any other mode?

I did get the problem solved. Pretty big learning curve for me on this camera after coming from a Rebel. Still working on getting some decent IQ. So far my Rebels are winning in the IQ department.:confused:
