Just had a quick play with my X-20 (which has a dedicated exposure compensation dial) in M mode and dialling in any amount of EC has no effect on the settings chosen or the image produced. Similarly, pressing the +/- button on my D70 when in M mode and dialling in 5 stops or overexposure makes no difference. However, on both, dialling in the chosen exposure compensation DOES change the meter reading (as pointed out by George and Allan above.) EC in manual mode makes no change to the settings - they're fixed by the user but the camera's meter will take the intention of the user into account and adjust its meter to add (or subtract) to (or from) the exposure.
(The above makes [sort of] sense to me, hope it does to others!)
This is absolutly not clear for me. How would a camera change metering reading presuming the usere intention and how that would not affect any of the exposure components? As i know reading is what the camera do in order to choose value for any of the exposure components. If you already did that and you are in full manual, how could the camera addapt to you when mettering. I really can not understand that.
