Just checked on both my bodies and it only works in Auto ISO as you say. Unfortunately I have updated the firmware: the X-H2 is Version 1.11 and the X-H2S is Version 2.10.
I have an x-h2 coming to me early in the new year to try out, really want to see how the AF compares to the x-h2s I had a while ago.
Im coming from the xt30 so its all a massive upgrade for me! The iso back dial direction is grinding my gears tho - we all know right is up
Don't believe you can use exposure compensation in manual mode Trevor. Would imagine the expectation is you do all the settings via aperture, iso or shutter speed to get the effect required.
Edit
I stand corrected, from the xh2/s manual
In manual mode, exposure can be adjusted by rotating the front or rear command dial after pressing a control to which (comp button)WHEN SET TO Manual(ON/OFF SWITCH) is assigned.
The manuals are pretty useless at times, have you tried YouTube? I find it my main resource!
That’s right mate. But I expect T5 owners can shoot Manual with fixed ISO and use the exposure compensation wheel to effect plus/minus changes.
I don't understand the need for exposure compensation in manual, surely the whole point of manual is to control the exposure yourself?
Then you wouldn't be shooting in manual.
How do you find the Viltrox 33mm? I have the Fuji 33mm on loan at the moment and I'm really enjoying it but I don't think I could ever justify £700 for a lens I wouldn't use loads. The Viltrox I could for less than half the price.
Obviously I’m not making it clear. I’m shooting in Manual. Fixed Shutter, Aperture , ISO. I’m tracking a bird flying in front of Trees, it breaks for open sky. I want to add Exposure Compensation without changing Shutter or Fvalue quickly.
I've just put a fixed shutter, aperture and ISO into my X-T4 and the exposure compensation dial does nothing in that mode. As soon as I put any of the exposure parameters in auto it becomes active. As has been said above, in full manual you're in total control of the exposure yourself so which parameter would the exposure compensation dial change?
Surely if you've got the correct exposure for the bird when it's in front of the trees, it will still be correct when it's in front of the sky so you don't need to change the exposure at all?
Not sure which firmware you are on Trevor I’m still on 1.01 (been meaning to upgrade) but mine will only do it on Auto iso.
Thanks all. My pursuance of this point is because the manual for X-H2/S tells how to use a Fn button to allow Exposure Compensation in Manual Mode. No mention of a requirement to use Auto ISO. As pointed out. Auto anything is not Manual. Case closed. I’ll try and find something else to talk about.
I think they're within £10 of each other for Fuji. I always forget about the Sigma primes. The lack of an aperture ring doesn't bother me much being new to the Fuji system. The Fuji 35mm F2 is another option as well. I know I'd lose a stop of light but it's smaller, lighter and weather sealed. This Fuji 33mm f1.4 I've got on loan is stunning and I've only used it around the house so far. If money was no object I'd definitely buy one.
when i first moved over to fuji i bought the 23,33 and 85mm all 3 came in for around £700, for the money yes i'm happy with them the focus is pretty quick and reliable, image quality i can't complain and build quality is pretty good (lens hood actually fits and works which is a novelty thing on fuji) iwould like to try the fuji versions to see if i can see any improvements but they would have to be a big difference to spend the money.
How are they with purple fringing? I've seen loads of reviews mention it but not shooting in real world conditions. Is it a problem in the real world?
I think you're over reading the manual. as others have said, if the shutter, aperture and iso are all on fixed settings there is nothing for the compensation to change. It more means that when not in manual you use one of the wheels to adjust it but in manual this can't be done as one does aperture and one does shutter so you have to then assign it to a different button.
Get in the sea Trev.......and take your wallet with you and hope the salt makes the credit cards unusable
A friend of mine has a silver one..... Looks ok to me (but I prefer black)

Fuji cannot make enough X100Vs, to the point where the factory has stopped taking orders so they can clear the backlog. The X100 series in general has seen a spike in popularity due to several TikTok influencers saying it takes photos that "look like film". Now is a good time to sell your X100S as prices have gone through the roof
