[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 677072, member: 9240"] As Marcel said, one of the things that drove the ISO up are shutter speeds and apertures that are way faster and much smaller than you need for most of what we're looking at. So when you get done going thru these you'll want to take a hard look at how you'll want to set each of those based on the focal length of the lens you're using, the depth of field you need (i.e. how deep of an area do you want/need in focus), and whether or not you're shooting a stationary target. With stationary subjects setting your shutter speed to 1/(2 x focal length) will almost always prevent movement, so your shot at 1/8000s could have been taken at 1/60s and probably would have reduced the ISO to almost native. After that, learning about hyperfocal distance means that you'd realize that a 17mm lens on a DX body could have been shot f3.5 and you'd have everything from 3 meters to Infinity in focus. Once you've set your Auto ISO settings properly I would highly recommend always using Aperture Priority any time you are shooting anything other than moving objects (i.e. pretty much everything here). My recommended settings for the D500 would be... [B]ISO Sensitivity Setting Auto ISO Control - ON Maximum Sensitivity - 6400 (sports, birds in flight), 3200 (everything else) Shutter Speed - +1 or +2 towards Faster [/B] [/QUOTE]
