If you have shutter in auto and shutter selected you just have to turn the top dial to set it manually. Or press the auto button to turn it back to auto. It is incredibly easy to flick between what is essentially manual with auto ISO and Av mode

What auto button are you talking about? The one on the rear screen when you tap the shutter screen?

I’m talking about whatever button you assign the “reset to auto” functionality to. It’s the functionality that sets Fv mode apart from the other modes.

Awesome, I got it now thank you. But one thing I noticed is when in Fv mode, and you essentially go into manual mode by setting ISO, Shutter speed and aperture while in Fv mode, the EC meter doesn't act as a light meter as when the M mode is selected. Yes I have a histogram I can pull up but the meter is nice to give you a starting point you know...

I think I'm starting to like this Fv mode. It will just be an adjustment from what I am used to.
