No I am not expecting any of the three manual modes to change. I was simply curious as to how the camera compensates the light meter without adjusting any of the 3 I am well aware none of them will change but sir Herman has explained it to me quite well. thank you. I guess it was more of a technical, physical properties, function question. I apologize for all the confusion and appreciate everyone's time in helping me understand this

I'm not trying to do anything I'm just wondering if you put let's say any camera in manual mode and set the aperture the shutter in the iso. On the Fuji XT2 I was using you are also allowed to adjust the exposure and it would lighten or darken the photo and none of the other readings would change. I was wondering what the camera is doing to change the exposure if it doesn't adjust any of the three
Why do say it isn’t adjusting anything? If you’re shooting a DSLR, you won’t see a change in the viewfinder like with a mirrorless. The mirror prevents it. You can get that effect in Live View.
OTOH, perhaps you need to partially depress your shutter to wake up the meter, and the make adjustments. You should see the values change on your display. Hope Thais helps.

I have a Fuji X-T2 and I almost always shoot in manual. The beauty of a mirrorless camera is that you can see the histogram before you take your photo. Simply, watch your histogram in the view finder and adjust your shutter speed and aperture accordingly to provide a good histogram. As a third adjust ,you may want to twik your exposure compensation. Again, use your histogram for reference. For more information about what constitutes a good histogram go to youtube.

My question is as follows if I'm shooting manual in app shutter and iso. When I adjust the exposure reading I do not notice any of the settings being changed what is exactly being changed in order to change the exposure of my photo.
Are you talking about shooting with a cell phone or a camera? I haven't heard of any "app" for or on cameras.

I appreciate it but the question has been answered and when I used the word app I was referring to aperture. Thanks for the response and have a great day

First off, if you're shooting in aperture mode, or shutter priority, you're not shooting in manual, second, if you change the settings, but you're not seeing the settings being changed, you most likely are not changing any settings! Please give a bit more information on how you proceed when trying to change settings!

color me confused you have 3 things that can be adjusted to get a given exposure, it might not be the right exposure for the scene but it is an exposure. if you use exposure compensation you are telling the light meter that the target is wrong e.g a stop too bright or too dark for example.
If the exposure was correctly balanced at 0 exposure compensation now you need to adjust either shutter speed, aperture, or iso, (or combination) by a stop to get to the new balance. other than by adding or removing a filter these are the only variables that can be changed. An Nd filter could be a valid option when you want a particular aperture and shutter speed and you can't or don't want to change the iso.

What I hear you saying is that you put a value into EC, but don't see anything change because of that.
If you are in one of the automated modes {such as Av}, you should see change in something {shutter speed in the case of Av}, because "truth" is being interpreted differently.
In you are in true manual mode, settings will not change, because you have complete control of them. Instead, the camera's "too dark - too bright" indicator should change, because the camera should now have a different view of what it would do under the same circumstances.

My question was answered sometime ago if you go back to the thread you will see I've referenced that all three of the initial settings are etched in stone. But thank you for your effort
