EOS 5D Mark III Exposure Compensation in Manual with Auto ISO

bluedevil64 — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:42:52 GMT

My 7D mark 2 allows me to perform exposure compensation when shooting in manual mode with auto-ISO. Apparently my 5D mark 3 does not allow this option. I have the 1.3.6 firmware installed, but this didn't seem to solve the problem. Is there a fix for this issue?

Negative. There is no resolution to this “problem”. Enabling Exposure Compensation is a “relatively new” feature that has been enabled in Canon DSLRs. The 5D3 was actually released two years prior to the 7D2. Do not expect a firmware update for a 10+ year old camera body.

Thanks. I inherited this camera and was surprised to find this feature was not available.

It's a great camera and a real prize. Learn it and use it.
