Can't Assign Exposure Compensation To Rear Dial (W/ Lock On)

[mjoseph67]

Friends, 

 

Happy New Year!

 

Two simple and perhaps rather silly questions:

1.) I cannot, for the life of me, change the rear command dial setting to control exposure compensation under particular conditions: my goal is lock the exposure compensation dial on the top and use the rear command dial to control exposure compensation. In the COMMAND DIAL SETTING MENU, I have the exposure compensation setting assigned, but ... no dice!

2.) And then, it is possible to have the exposure compensation "reset" when turning the X-T5 On/Off? If I have a value of -3 exposure compensation, for example, the camera "remembers" the value, and I have to re-zero the exposure compensation.

Any help towards answering these two questions would be so greatly appreciated.

Thank you friends and happy shooting!

-M
