Does anyone know which bodies have Auto ISO exposure compensation or a reasonable work around? I am referring specifically to setting the aperture and shutter and letting the meter auto select an ISO but then manually compensate for the exposure. I seem to recall Auto ISO exposure compensation on the 7D (or some sort of useful workaround). I don't believe the 5DIII nor the 6D have this capability despite being an easy software addition for Canon.
 
This is my default mode with both the 1DX, 5DSR and 7DII. On the 5DIII I still shot mostly in manual, but I had to change either ISO, f-stop or shutter speed to compensate. With auto ISO, as far as I know, your only option is to accept the camera´s metering.

Thanks everyone!

Thinking harder, I guess I must have used the 7D in shutter priority/high shutter/auto ISO/exposure compensation and thus always forced the widest aperture which is what I wanted with the lens I was using. Unfortunately that won't work with the 300f4 which I usually stop down.

the 7D2 can do it by setting up the ISO to auto and
for me I customize the "SET" button as Exposure Compensation functionality.

So in Manual mode, I would set the aperture and shutter values and compensate the exposure after chimping the 1st test shot :P
