Re: Two dials and exposure compensation

In looking at the G-85, the camera's interface for P/A/S is setup more for a camera with single dial. The default interface uses either dial to set the main setting (program shift, aperture, shutter speed). To set exposure compensation, you have to press the exposure compensation button and rotate a dial.

You can set either front or rear dial to adjust EV comp, and get it to turn either way to get positive [and negative]. The other dial will then adjust either the SS or F-stop, depending on which shooting mode is chosen. In manual mode, one adjusts shutter while other does shutter speed. No button presses necessary. There is a Fn button in the centre of one of the control dials and I have set mine to toggle the tone curves, which are again controlled by the two dials or cursor buttons to choose pre-sets if required.
