I have exposure compensation assigned to quick control dial 2. This works as expected in Tv and Av modes. In manual mode with ISO set to Auto turning the dial does not add exposure compensation. Instead, it changes the ISO. However, if I go to the Quick Control screen and add exposure compensation it works. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks.

Congratulations! Shooting in M mode with ISO Auto and {SET] for Exposure Compensation has been a game changer for me. I like to take almost every shot with my DSLRs with -1/3 Ev.
I think Canon “bakes in” some “some exposure to the right” to bring out details in shadows. That means I think they over exposure slightly. My best guess is approximately by +1/3 Ev. But it seems closer to +1/4 Ev, which you cannot set in the camera, only in post.
I am undecided whether or not my R6 mark II needs it. My gut feeling says the exposures are pretty good as they are. I’m not really blowing highlights shooting at 0 Ev.
