[QUOTE="aroy, post: 503542, member: 16090"] Check if you have set ISO to "Auto ISO". I used fixed ISO, mostly 100 outdoors and 400-800 indoors. In S mode, especially with default "Auto ISO", some settings increase/decrease the ISO and then the Aperture, while other setting do the opposite. Another setting to take care of is the Aperture set on the body before switching to "S" mode from "A" mode. At least in my D3300, the Aperture set is the minimum that the auto ISO uses, it will increase the aperture if the scene is too bright, but will not go below it if it is dark. That must the problem in your case. Here is what I think the settings were . The aperture set at 14, before switching to "S" . ISO set at "Auto" by default . Max ISO set to the default 6400 To be doubly sure, just check all the setting, and then switch off all the "Auto" settings. [/QUOTE]
