No worries. I am well aware of “exposure value bias.” The problem with Nikon is several fold:

1- If you are working in an automatic exposure mode and enter an EC you must remember to set it back to zero or it will be applied when you are working in Manual mode … This is an horrific situation.

2-With both Canon and Nikon they could fix the firmware to show you the actual EC at the moment of exposure when you are working in Manual mode. I have been suggesting that they do that for years.

3-Since I often forget to set the EC back to zero the = or – values that I see on the analog scale in the viewfinder are not accurate with Nikon so I do not pay much attention to them 🙂

Sorry, this is on the wrong post but I don’t have the time to find the one in question.

The one in question was that someone asked you why you were putting exposure comp down as “approximately” (or something relative) and you showed a screenshot of photomechanic and it was sometimes blank I believe.

I don’t know if you know this or not but since you’re on a mac you can open your raw files in apples preview app and hit the (I) button and the exif will come up and I believe it has the correct value that you were looking for, it’s labeled “exposure bias value”
