For the single-wheel bodies, you get a numeric readout of +/-3 stops in
1/2 to 1/3 EV (essentially the same as what you get using DoF preview
with pre-A glass). Aperture is set with a combination of Ev Comp button
and control wheel, the wheel sets shutter normally.
With the D and K10D, you get a simulated match needle display, and each
wheel sets one of aperture and shutter.
