  1. 2 Contributions: - Left dial not working even though set to exp comp in manual mode: I have experienced this when the camera believes that the required ISO value was at one of the limits of the selected Auto ISO ranges. That would at least be partly a logical explanation (not for the switching to film simulations though, which I experiences once as well). - Reason for using exposure comp in Manual: Easier and much faster way to adjust exposure than by toggling ISO values, especially since you prefer the Auto ISO, because the light can always change while your are toggling the ISO values. Manual Mode with Auto ISO recommended by pros for wildlife photography. And it basically works well. I was just able to shoot a black raven in front of a bright sky by using exp comp plus 2 2/3 and thereby raising the iso to 2500 within the range. One click by the left dial is 1/3 exp comp. Only by cranking the exp comp up in this way, the different shades of dark grey, including blacks and highlights on the feathers of the raven came out properly. And the sky in the background was not blown out. Even with spot metering, the camera would have selected iso 1000, which was too dark for the details of the black raven feathers (the raven was not in the shadow), and raising the shadows/black point in post processing for these non adjusted pictures could not bring out the fine shades of the feathers and resulted in some disturbing color tints. Even the allegedly very good NoNoise AI I use cannot compensate for the loss of quality (dynamic range) due to underexposure of dark areas. Not nice, as others have pointed out: In the EVF only the max value of the selected Auto ISO range is shown, and you have to half press the shutter button to see the actual value selected by the camera.
