[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 439377, member: 6277"] In changing light conditions when you are shooting you don't always have time to change settings to get "the shot". Say for Bird in Flight which is one of my favorite things to shoot I set the camera in M 1/2000 @F8. I use these setting since they give me good results for BIF. I then use Auto ISO to adjust for lighting conditions. Depending on the sky brightness I will also use +1 or +2 Exposure compensation to adjust for the darker bird against the bright sky. I have been getting good results with this. The shutter option would not apply to this setting. I shoot in Program, Aperture Priority or shutter priority most of the time and I use Auto ISO all the time in those modes. Before today I set the minimum shutter speed based on my LONGEST zoom. with the 18-140 I used 1/300. Double the longest zoom. For the 70-300 I used 1/600. With using the Auto shutter speed I will not always be at the fastest shutter speed all the time. Shorter zoom slower shutter speed, lower ISO or smaller aperture. I don't always use the longest part of the zoom but was limiting myself to the faster shutter speed so this way I gain better quality (lower ISO) or more depth of field (smaller aperture) when I use a wider angle on my zooms. i still get the advantage of Auto ISO that I really like.
