eagles_creek said:Err.......I do bracket sometimes in manual mode.
I just select +/- 1 stop and it fires three frames continuously with the aperture remaining constant(what I set) and shutter speed increase/decrease by 1 stop.
Perhaps it depends on camera models? :dunno:

Have not tried with my EOS 30 yet, but it has the same function too as in from the manual.

Although some terms in the article seems unfamiliar to me since I'm not a eos user but I guess generally it states in 'P' mode, both aperture & shutter speed is adjusted. In 'A' mode, shutter speed is adjusted while in 'M' mode, aperture is adjusted.
btw, I'm using a nikon f80. guess it may differ slightly from an eos. I could do ev compensation in 'M' mode but it does not show changes to my aperture & shutter speed setting. Only shows the number of stops for compensation/bracketing...:dunno: which was why I ask the initial question...

eagles_creek said:As for my basic eos 66, the cam changes only the shutter speed during AEB and in manual mode.
The aperture size set remains constant. I have no control over which to adjust during that three frames.Henceforth, it will take frame1 (f8, 1/250), frame2 (f8, 1/500) and frame3 (f8, 1/125).
I've lost count of the number of times I have to do this.......becos my exposure skills cannot make it, so need to bracket at times. And becos I normally shoot in manual mode using b/w film, I'm sure the AEB function works in manual mode, well.....at least for me.
user111 said:it does not show changes because you are in MANUAL mode.
the term "exposure compensation" only makes sense in every exposure mode other than MANUAL mode, because the very fact that you are taking the initiative to MANUALLY adjust the setting of aperture and shutter speed at your own will is itself already an act of "compensation"
