[QUOTE="taylorkh, post: 674755, member: 44240"] Thanks folks, The camera is a D3400 - and I was a little dyslexic when typing the max - should have been 25,600 not 26,500 - not that it really matters. I have been doing some digging in the manual and poking around the menus. I found this statement OK but I still cannot relate that to film characteristics. I also learned a bit about how the auto ISO will vary the ISO if the value I chose (currently 400) will not provide the optimal exposure. I also learned that I can set a maximum auto ISO - just set this to 1600. With these settings and auto ISO turned on I THINK that the ISO can vary from 100 to 1600 in P, S, or A mode. The manual says M mode as well. I thought that M meant MANUAL EVERYTHING but I guess not. However, I have not figured out if setting the default ISO value serves any purpose when the camera is in auto ISO mode and will vary the ISO to its liking. This section of the manual is not very clear. Thanks again, Ken [/QUOTE]
