Are you saying they no longer have EV Comp? That would be the stupidest decision ever.

Sorry if it reads like that, I also see while rereading my OP that I made a mistake "and that is now your exposure dial.." should have said Exposure Comp dial.

But to clarify you still have Exposure Comp, but not with a dedicated dial. And I guess in fujifilms own default there is no Exposure Comp for all manual/auto ISO... which seams like a bit of a mistake..

This is exactly the same UI as on the XH1. There was no dedicated EC dial. There is a button that can be programmed to be held down with turning the read wheel for EC. The button can also be programmed to be an on/off switch so when it is on - turning the real wheel will change EC and when turned off the EC is locked. No different here.

Explanation of Fujifilms default:
M = no ExpoComp

No need for EC I'm full manual

There is the M+ auto ISO mode which is probably the whole reason for the negative impression of the UI in regards to EC.

A = Front Command is ExpoComp

That's a change from the XH1. Can it be reprogrammed to the rear?

I messed up. It's likely like the X-H1.. sorry for the confusion.

S = Thumb Command is ExpoComp
P = I dont know, Thumb I guess

First of all, all of that is wrong in my book, I changed it to be front dial for ExpoComp in all modes since I will always use the aperture ring for... aperture. so that dial will be free to be ExpoComp always.
