Can a digital camera’s EV be adjusted in Manual mode?
I just got a Sony DSC-H50 and noticed the EV cannot be manually adjusted while in Manual Mode. It’s able to be adjusted in P, S, and A modes. But in Manual Mode, only shutter, aperture, flash, focus, ISO, etc. can be adjusted except for EV. The EV in my camera is Automatically adjusted while in manual mode, yes automatically in manual mode (doesn’t this defeat the purpose of manual mode?)
Is this common with all digital cameras in Manual Mode?
I read in this article they can’t:

.. but after reading some comments at the bottom of the article, it seems like some Nikon Cameras are able to adjust EV in Manual Mode. I’m confused.
You don’t need it in manual mode. EV adjustments are for overriding the automatic programming of program, aperture or shutter priority, which will adjust to get you the perfect exposure. If you need a picture lighter, open your aperture or use a slower shutter. If you need it darker, close down your aperture or use a faster shutter speed. That’s all!
