- It took me a long time to work out how to adjust the exposure compensation without using the touch screen. It seems that the back dial changes it, but only during the 8 seconds after you've half-touched the shutter to turn on metering. Why not let me change this at any time - especially to let me change it back to zero.

I bet it is described in the user manual.

The manual says that the dial can adjust the exposure compensation, but it doesn't say that it's only effective for 8 seconds after metering, despite the manual having special icons to indicate features that are active for finite periods.  It also doesn't offer a rationale for this, compared to aperture, shutter speed and ISO adjustments which can be made at any time.

Regarding wanting to avoid accidental changes, there is a big LOCK switch that is intended for this.
