Artie:
I have now read your exchange with Mike on this comment trail; sorry I went from article to posting a question directly! I am learning more and more about exposure from you. I used the method you outlined in your books recently to photograph Bald Eagles in flight in Conwingo Dam very effectively. Still not sure why this feature would not be useful though. Seems to me if I set the right manual exposure using the horizon, and then using EC in manual mode to get the right exposure compensation, I can maintain shutter speed and aperture.

Happy new year. I was wondering if the new IDX firmware changes anything in your recommendation here? Specifically does the availability of Exposure Compensation in Manual mode make it easier or more practical to using manual mode in walk around situations rather than AV mode?
