Hi,

I hate the fact that 5D2 only allow +/- 2EV of exp compensation.

FEV is also +/- 2.

I imagine that this is just a offset applied to the exposure decided by the metering. Why does this need to be limited? What purpose does it serve? Or what fact cause it to be not, +/- 5 or unlimited?

Anyway, I seems to remember when I use ML V2.2 on my 550D (don't have it anymore), I can adjust EV via ML menu.

Can't seems to do the same for my 5D2 on V2.3

Is this possible? I just want to use Av mode and set, say, ev to -3 or more.
