p.1 #1 · Zf exposure compensation


I have my Z7's set for exposure compensation on the lens control ring, and works great. My Zf, that I have just bought, I have set it to exposure compensation on the lens control ring, but it doesn't work.
Any ideas? I have tried several lenses, but it does nothing

Edit: If I set the exposure compensation dial to C, I get exposure compensation on the lens. But, I lose auto ISO (that dial is set to C), and it defaults to ISO100. Is there any way of keeping auto ISO, whilst using exposure compensation via the lens dial

Nobody? Really surprised this hasn't cropped up before

It works fine for me, but I don't know how my settings are different from yours.

I have the EC dial set at "C"
I set the lens control ring for exposure compensation
I have the ISO dial set at "C" and I have Auto ISO on.

Turning the lens control ring works fine, and Auto ISO works.

How strange. All I have done is unbox it, updated the firmware to the latest, set the auto ISO, and assigned exposure compensation to the lens. Setting C on both dials, makes the lens do nothing for exposure compensation

You've done on the Z7 so I assume you are setting the correct control ring on Zf? In other words, you're sure you're setting the control ring and not the MF ring? Because the MF ring is also configurable.
