Hi Mike,

Here's what I did with my EOS R10.

Firstly I changed the SET button to allow me to change exposure compensation while it was held down as I described above in point 4. 

Now I took these HDMI screen captures of the camera. They are slightly different in that you can't use touch control on a HDMI screen connected to the camera.

The first of the three shows the camera in manual with auto ISO and no compensation. 

Second frame shows +1 exposure compensation has been added.

Third frame was captured while holding the SET button pressed. You can see that the orange main dial icon is now next to the exposure compensation scale, not shutter speed, indicating that when the main dial is turned the exposure compensation will be adjusted. 

In the first two captures I was not touching any buttons, so the ISO just says AUTO with no value. In the last shot the ISO shows AUTO and 1250, this is because at this point I was also holding the SET pressed. 

The eagle-eyed will notice my framing moved and focus is hit and miss - I'm handholding the camera with one hand while operating the computer to capture the screenshots and didn't use a tripod.

I'm running out of buttons      :   (           - AF ON is back-button focus, Asterisk is eye detection -  and I've yet to figure out how to have them both depressed at the same time!

Woe is me    - but you can call me "Mike"

Many thanks for comprehensive solution possibilities!

I found a fifth way to change exposure compensation with manual exposure and auto ISO.

The M-Fn button is normally used for the Dial function settings. I forgot that this includes exposure compensation, or can do.

Glad to see you have a solution. Brian explained how to program the [Set] button on the R10. 

I do not own the R10. My apologies.

Activating exposure compensation on the Canon R10 while in Manual mode with Auto ISO involves a few steps. Here's how you can do it:

1. **Set the Mode to Manual (M):**
- Turn the mode dial on the top of the camera to "M" for Manual mode.

2. **Enable Auto ISO:**
- Press the "ISO" button on the top of the camera.
- Use the dial or the touchscreen to select "Auto ISO."

3. **Activate Exposure Compensation:**
- Press the "Q" button to enter the Quick Control screen.
- Use the dial or the touchscreen to highlight the exposure compensation icon (a plus/minus symbol).
- Use the main dial (usually the dial near the shutter button) to adjust the exposure compensation value. You can move it towards the positive side to make the image brighter or towards the negative side to make it darker.

Note that in Manual mode, exposure compensation affects the Auto ISO setting. The camera adjusts the ISO to achieve the desired exposure based on your compensation settings. This allows you to manually control the aperture and shutter speed while letting the camera automatically adjust the ISO to maintain proper exposure according to your compensation adjustments.

Thank you very much for your input. Your's is the second time that this solution has been offered, and I really appreciate your input.

Re: #2 There is no ISO button on the top of the R10.

Apologies? We guys from Brooklyn (originally) don't accept apologies when the person is a genuine human angel, and has no reason to feel apologetic, so "F'getaboutit!" 

...and have a great day...                           ;   )
