    In the Exposure comp./AEB menu I am unable to use the arrow keys to shift the exposure compensation when in manual mode. I am able to turn the main dial on the front of the camera to alter the bracketing choices, but cannot shift exposure to the left or right using the multi controller on the back of the camera......Does that multicontrolller only work in AV mode and not in manual?

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    I don't own the 6D, but if I understand you correctly, exposure compensation will only work in program, shutter, and aperture priority modes. In manual mode, you control how each exposure is over or under exposed (bracketed) by changing the shutter speed or aperture yourself.

    Thank.
    Thank you. I played around with the camera and found this to be exactly the problem.
