5d MKII - operator error ? exposure comp ?

[mipevo6]

Hey folks,

Just bought a 5d MKII at Canon Pro Solutions....

Very similar to operate but not as sophisticated as my 7d...

However.....

I put the camera into AV mode and normally the back dial would be +/- compensation (on my 7d).... the book says it should as well....

But the back dial does nothing...... ??

Tried all sorts, nothing changes, everything else works fine..

I must be doing something stupid ????

Thanks for any advice....

Make sure the switch is set is clicked all the way up for the jog wheel to work

DOH.....

That doesn't exist on my 7d so missed it.....

I knew it was something stupid....

Thank you....

or just push the joystick in if you want an easier way of setting things like exposure comp.

I like doing it on the jog dial as I don't have to take the camera from my eye...

I have the controller set to move the af point... which isn't nearly as nice / slick as the 7d....

Cheers
