Exposure Bias in Metadata HUD

OK, dumb question #1.

I've been experimenting with exposure settings, under, exact and over by a couple of stops - but nothing that is over exposed is ever reflected in the metadata, and almost all of the under exposed shots are the same - they show 0ev. I've had some show up with -0.3ev, but only a few.
The camera is a Canon 20D

Cheers

The meta-data always reflect as-shot - usually any post-shot updates are not recorded there. Even thouhg that would potentially be more accurate...

I have been doing the experimenting on the camera,
setting various exposures both under and over 1/3 and
2/3 of a stop - but Aperture shows them as having the
same exposure bias. The shutter speed varies when I
change the exposure level course, and that is
reflected in Aperture, but the exposure bias isn't.


Sorry, I misunderstood before - there is somethign wierd there. In a brief scan of my own images I see no values for exposure bias in Aperture other than 0ev and -3.0ev - on pictures I do not think I had set that low.

I think I'll submit that as a bug, I suggest others do the same so we can get it out of the way...
