Long time reader of the forum. This issue has irritated me so much I’ve had to register to ask for help.
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to take control of Exposure Compensation on M mode.
I have full control over Aperture and SS, have the ISO set to a value (i.e. not auto). I’ve tried with both auto WB and not auto WB. No matter what combo of settings I get, the camera always seems to automatically increase (or more often) decrease Exposure Compensation. I can’t change the value in the menus and pushing in the back dial doesn’t work either (this usually allows me to change this in AP and SP modes).
The camera isn't changing the exposure compensation; it doesn't provide exposure compensation at all in M mode. When in M mode, the exposure compensation meter or bar becomes a meter that tells you whether the camera thinks your chosen settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed) are correct or over- or -under-exposing.
Yep, this is the correct explanation. It's a bit confusing because they use the same spot on the screen/EVF to show it.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.

The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
