The R10 Advanced Users Guide starting on page 142 (attached is part of page 143) explains setting EC while using Auto ISO in Manual mode.

Hi Mike,

With the EOS R10 there are only two dials on the camera body, the main dial and quick control dial. In manual mode by default the main dial controls shutter speed and the quick control dial controls aperture value. There are four ways to change exposure compensation when shooting with AUTO ISO in manual mode on the EOS R10.

1. Tap the exposure compensation scale on the LCD screen and use the main dial, quick control or the +/- buttons on the screen.
2. Use the control ring on RF lenses, or control ring mount adapter
3. Customise the quick control dial so that instead of aperture control it is exposure compensation. Though then you need to decide how to change aperture. Go to customise dials menu to find this.
4. Use a custom button configured for exposure compensation. While the button is pressed and held turn the main dial to change compensation. The following buttons can be assigned this function; AF-ON, asterisk, depth of field preview, SET. 

Hope that helps.

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.
