X-T5 Exposure Compensation With Auto ISO - Question

[Richard301]

I have come to Fuji from Canon and have what seems a pretty basic question to which I cannot find an answer. With Canon, in aperture priority exposure compensation always adjusted shutter speed. The tutorials on the XT-5 suggest the same behavior, but I find that if Auto ISO is enabled on my X-T5, then ISO is adjusted and not shutter speed when in aperture priority (i.e. aperture set to a fixed value and shutter on auto). Only if ISO is set to a specific value does exposure compensation change the shutter speed in Aperture priority. Is this normal for the X-T5?

Yes.

A bit longer answer is that it works like that pretty much across the camera line. These may explain things a bit:

Depending on how you setup the parameters, you might be able to force a shutter speed change just to see it working.
