I was camping at a farm with a big group of friends this weekend. My D800 with a Nikon 28-300mm lens was along for the ride. Normally I'm old school, never shooting ISO above 800 and making adjustments to shutter and aperture as I go. This weekend was different, with lots of stuff going on, and the pics are not for critical use. The pictures are just for fun, so I went to Manual mode and locked in my shutter speed high enough to reduce camera-shake and motion blur, and my aperture in the sweet spot to get a decent depth of field with some bokeh. So for the first time ever I shot for hours with the camera set for Auto-ISO. I was very pleased with the results, and it made the shooting a lot more fun. Later I was shocked to see the camera went as high as ISO 3200 for outdoor shots in the shade! But they look pretty good, and are certainly a good enough record of the weekend.
J-See likes to set his shutter and aperture manually, then adjust ISO in post processing on the NEF files. But shooting Auto-ISO with RAW and JPEG-fine gave me a bunch of usable JPEGS to upload to Flickr as soon as I got home.
