tom0511 Posted November 3, 2017 Share #21  Posted November 3, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use this approach quite often with an M lens - PASM and fixed ISO gives a constant visual exposure through the EVF. I also learned recently that you can compensate just the EVF brightness in this mode as well, it appears as exposure compensation but it only compensates what you see through the EVF, not the actual exposure. This is very useful.  It also works with autoiso, if you want. I use it this way. You dont have to press a button each time. Also I want to add that the viewfinderbrightness lets me judge (even without the histogramm) quite good if the exposure is ok. I have set up the right wheel on the top plate for exposure compensation and with exp preview combined my exposure is very very good/reliable. I also agree the delay when using the M with EVF is not so great. My M is therefore mainly used with OVF, but I now use the SL much more often.

Daniel Beacock Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share #22 Â Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks all. This is so good to hear. I'm looking forward to trying it out again now! [emoji106] Â Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep_blue Posted November 3, 2017 Share #23 Â Posted November 3, 2017 It also works with autoiso, if you want. I use it this way. Â It only works with auto-iso and M-lenses until auto-iso hits the limits. Once the upper or lower iso limits you entered are reached, the preview is not correct anymore, only the exposure-level-graph [how is it called correctly?] in the EVF indicates over-or underexposure.

Big John Posted November 5, 2017 Share #24  Posted November 5, 2017 Have found this a helpful discussion but have now noticed something....  When I press the front function button, a green ‘F’ with a ‘eye’ above it appears in the EVF next to the aperture.  Pls can some explain what this is, thanks.

LD_50 Posted November 5, 2017 Share #25  Posted November 5, 2017 The eye above the F tells you it’s simulating the effect of aperture. Eye above F and S tells you it’s simulating aperture and shutter speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
