5. Auto-exposure-lock unavailable in manual mode (with auto-ISO)

A nice feature of the NX1 (compared to the NX10 which I previously used) is that it is possible to switch the camera to manual mode to select a fixed shutter speed and a fixed aperture while letting the camera determine the right ISO value for a preselected exposure value (EV). Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the auto-exposure-lock under these operating conditions. I don't understand why? This limitation just doesn't make any sense to me.

Are you sure? I don't have an NX1, hopefully someone else weighs in.

Menu > Settings > Device Information says:

Body firmware 1.20
Lens firmware 1.22 (I got the 30mm prime)

In the keymapping, I set the following options:

AEL: AEL Hold
AF ON / AEL: AF ON = AF ON, AEL = AEL (i.e. no swapping of buttons)

If the mode wheel is turned to "P", then the AEL button works (it will show AEL in green on the screen). The AEL button also works in "A" and "S" mode, but not in "M" mode. In "M" mode it just doesn't show any reaction. The ISO is set to auto, i.e. it shows "ISO A + some number" on the screen.

Maybe someone else can confirm this?

I confirm, that's really annoying, especially for video to avoid exposure shifts.
