Last night I picked up my D600 to get a few quick shots of some dinner party guests. They were all overexposed, even though the camera's exposure comp was set to 0 and the flash TTL setting was -1/3. I realized after the party that the camera was set to Auto-ISO, which I had been playing with earlier in the week, but rarely use otherwise.
Is Auto-ISO and a TTL speedlight something to avoid? Or did I miss some critical trick to make this work right?
Also, the pictures are pretty noisy, so I just checked the EXIF and the camera chose ASA 12,800! I know you can set a lower max ISO in the settings menu, but it bugs me that the camera defaulted to the maximum ISO setting for what could have been shot at 100. For now, no more Auto-ISO for me.
