New User: what is EV value

[Edgar]

What's the function of EV dial button, it don't affect the exposure in manual mode. And also, how to shoot low light detail in high light environment, high dynamic? (400% HD)

The EV button does not work in manual mode indeed. Unless it could automatically change the ISO value, which the Fuji cameras don't do in manual mode, there is nothing for it to adjust (at least true for the X-Pro1 and X-E1). I usually set the ISO to a fixed value when working in manual mode. That way you have full control.

 

If your scene really exceeds the dynamic range of the sensor, you can create multiple exposures, and combine them in post processing. Otherwise, set dynamic range to 100%, expose so that the highlights are not blown, and pull up the shadows in your RAW converter.

On the X-T1 with the newest firmware, the exposure compensation dial changes the auto ISO behavior when aperture and shutter speed are set manually. That's how i use mine 90% of the time.
