As changing the ISO doesn’t change the exposure, wouldn’t you rather adjust the SS? In any case, how about using manual with Auto-ISO, locking the exposure with the AEL button, and then just tweaking the EC dial up or down as needed? That should effectively do what you want.

Erik, ISO does change exposure.Aperture, SS, and ISO do.

No, ISO changes brightness after exposure, it doesn’t actually affect the sensor exposure at all. In many cases, you could adjust it just as effectively in post. Much better to optimize the exposure at base ISO if you can (on a tripod you probably can if you aren’t limited by SS issues).

As I mentioned Auto ISO will not work as it relies on the camera's metering to find a value.

Not after the exposure is locked, it doesn’t. Once locked, you can simply click the ISO up and down with the EC dial.

Try using the metering system of your camera in the dark. It won't give you the correct shutter speed / ISO. That is why I need to use the camera in manual. My 2011 canon rebel did it, so did my Sony, so did my XT3 and XT4. Why not the H2S?

I contacted Fuji and am awaiting their reply. Not sure how long it will take though.

What exactly are you shooting?
