[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 466604, member: 12496"] As an alternative, some users for some events, maybe sports or birds, like to set camera Manual mode, maybe f/5.6 at 1/500 second... so they absolutely know what settings the picture will use. Then they set Auto ISO, the idea being that if f/5.6 1/500 is not sufficient, then Auto ISO will increase until it is... My point of mentioning it is that 1) this is no different than camera A mode with f/5.6 and and 1/500 second Minimum shutter speed in Auto ISO, [B]when both[/B] are using f/5.6 and 1/500 at higher ISO values. However M mode between ISO 100 to ISO 3200 is only 5 stops of possible range, over six stops. And 2) the camera A mode plan has some extra backup capability of letting the shutter still go faster or slower, as opposed to the alternate result of an underexposed picture when maximum ISO is not sufficient, or overexposed result when minimum ISO is too much for the settings. The M mode case is cute, but it is simply additional restrictions. Of course, as always, it is important to constantly pay attention to what is happening. If we find our ISO is always higher than best, we can reconsider the settings forcing it there. [/QUOTE]
