No matter what I set it to, it always stays set on exposure compensation. Regards, Bud James Please check out my fine art and travel photography at www.budjames.photography. Can change the function, but when for instance selecting Metering Mode, it always jumps to the next mode, without saving the desired mode. Irritating. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianforber Posted April 25, 2022 Share #43 Posted April 25, 2022 I found that for me it only stayed on the desired function if I immediately saved it to whatever profile I was using. And I do mean immediately! I now have the wheel set as exposure compensation and the press function set to change user profile. This setting survives switching the camera on and off and switching profiles. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This setting survives switching the camera on and off and switching profiles. I tried what you suggested, but it didn't work for me. After saving the thumbwheel setting to no action, the thumbwheel still controls exposure compensation. Definitely a bug. Bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Hi There Bud Interesting - it's working properly here - but when you say it's 'still controls exposure compensation' do you mean when you press it? or just when you turn it? Because if it's the latter (ie when you just turn the wheel), then in Customize Control / Customise Wheel you need to change it there as well as the press and hold function (which only relates to pressing the wheel, not to simply turning it) All the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmesa Posted May 1, 2022 Share #47 Posted May 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Took some time with the M11 metering today with the three metering modes most relevant to me. I'm keeping my M11 in center-weighted until the next firmware update. I'm very happy with the results from that metering mode. Center-weighted Consistent and Accurate Not overly sensitive to small changes in camera position Exposure does not change with LV on versus LV off Multifield Inconsistent and subject to over or under-exposure Overly sensitive to small changes in camera position Exposure does not change with LV on versus LV off Highlight-weighted Identical to Multifield except exposure is ~1/2 stop brighter with LV on versus LV off 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking with center-weighted, which is still pretty darn consistent with my film MP and prior digital Ms. It’s actually made me consider switching to center-weighted on my Q2 also, particularly when shooting manual. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've kept my Canon and Fujfilm cameras in center-weighted as well. Nikon's 3D Matrix metering has been the only segmented metering mode that ever worked well for me. Looking forward to Leica fixing the highlight-weighted metering on the M11 though. It's really useful to me on the SL2-S.
