Originally posted by Jerry_K Of course. In manual mode I would expect the camera to vary the shutter speed from the reference value set on the speed dial. Like it does in aperture priority mode. The difference being: the reference shutter speed in AP mode is determined by the meter, while in manual mode it is determined by the user. Otherwise it's impossible to adjust (compensate) exposure by values smaller than 1 EV at any given aperture. For instance, on a shutter speed dial I can set the speed to either 1/500 sec or 1/1000 sec (which is a difference of one stop) but not to anything in between. I would also expect that my manually set combination of aperture and shutter speed defines a reference exposure from which I could deviate (in units of EV) by up to +/- 3 EV, but WITHOUT changing the reference.
Therefore, my question could be reformulated in the following manner: how do I do bracketing in manual metering mode by values being fractions of one step?

If you are in manual, then all the light meter is doing is giving you a reference regarding what it thinks the exposure should be.
Manual exposure means that the photographer inputs both aperture and shutter speed.
If you want to do bracketed exposures with the intent of blending them, then you want a fixed aperture and variable shutter speed, since you don't want DOF changes playing havoc with your image.
So, in manual, you can change the shutter speed, though with the 67II I suspect you are stuck with full stop increments.
Or, you can set the camera to aperture preferred AE (I believe this is the 67II's auto exposure method) and use the exposure comp to vary the shutter speed in whatever increments it is calibrated in.
