I'm not sure what Collin's question meant. You don't "adjust" the EV dial, it's
a read out with an exposure value for you to set after metering.
Using EV numbers to set exposure was common practice for about 20 years of
Rolleiflexes and is still in use with Hasselblad V system lenses. Lots of other
cameras used the system too. On my Hasselblad lenses, you set an EV number and
then the shutter and aperture rings are coupled together so you can see all the
combinations that work for the set exposure.
A lot of cameras allow you to tell the auto exposure to set a certain
number of stops over or under, they often refer to these stops in terms
of EV. I expect that this is what he is referring to.

AFAIRC, the EV values were only used on a few cameras where you could not set
the shutter
speed/aperture, but set the EV value on a scale on the lens (or body). It will
adjust as you change
the shutter or aperture scales, as it does on an old Lunasix 6 meter I use with
my Rolleicord.
There is no way normally to alter its value except by altering shutter speed,
aperture, or ISO.
