M of G85

G85 supports Auto ISO in M, but no EC. Basically not useful to me at all.

AEW as suggested is of course one of the solutions.

To me I rather prefer to use Manual ISO in M. After SS and f/stop been set, activate Dial Operation Switch (the "DOS", fn1 next to the shutter) that I have set ISO to the front dial (it also controls EC if under no DOS), use Front Dial to adjust ISO in 1/3 step according to Preview. It is no difference from "A/S, Auto ISO & EC" except for an extra fn key of DOF involved.

Might be I am the old school guy used to the traditional M operation long ago. 😊

Thank you for your contribution to enrich this thread. It is an invaluable piece of information for any potential owner of this model.

Thank you again.
