Today I took some shots in full sunlight and noticed that the ec meter (?) was always at +2..I was shootomg in AV mode. I have had a problem with this in the past. While I was looking for a control setting that might fix this, I kicked my ISO up to 1600 and took a shot and the EC was still +2. Of course the histogram showed that the shot was blown out. Any help???? I have a 40D.

Mike ugly when I'm sober  More info | Jul 26, 2008 17:12 | #3 As date says, the second 'on' position allows you to set exposure compensation unless you're in M. It's not the clearest of settings in the instruction book! www.mikegreenphotography.co.uk

JeffreyG "my bits and pieces are all hard"  More info | Jul 26, 2008 18:50 | #4 As the previous posts suggested, you have +2 exposure compensation dialed in. In the metered modes (Av, Tv) you can tell the camera to adjust the exposure from what it thinks is correct by up to +2 or -2 full stops.

In the metered modes (Av, Tv) you can tell the camera to adjust the exposure from what it thinks is correct by up to +2 or -2 full stops. You have +2 stops dialed in, which will seriously overexpose most normal scenes. Changing the ISO has no effect on exposure compensation. I think you need to read the manual again and perhaps also get a basic photography book from the library. A little reading will likely make this all a lot more clear. I understand that ISO has no effect on EC. I was using that as a test where I knew it would be over exposed, and it still had the +2 ec. But, I have fixed it with you guys help.....THX
