Originally posted by Class A You should also be able to use exposure compensation to correct for other apertures than wide open.
AFAIK, the only way is to shift the shutter speed in "M" mode which, as noted here, isn't 1 click = 1/3 a step or anything along those lines.
However when you do it the camera does show your exposure, so it's not all that much of a problem or challenge to adjust.
It's not that difficult, just a matter of getting to know your gear. If, however, there's an easier way to shift exposure with a "M" lens, and apertures other than wide open, I'd be thrilled to know how. The more you know the better, right?
