<blockquote data-quote="gustafson" data-source="post: 543214" data-attributes="member: 40735">[USER=12257]@Pretzel[/USER], thanks for the detailed review and feedback! Your observations are spot on. Before I got the D7100, I was using manual lenses on my D3300 in M mode (the only mode that is allowed on that body). As the D7100 allows using the A mode for Ai and Ai-s lenses, and after learning that a lot of seasoned photographers shoot in A, I've been primarily shooting in that mode. I admit that I don't completely understand how auto ISO works, because I generally set mine to Max 6400 with a minimum shutter speed of 1/125, but looks like those are untenable constraints for the slower lenses that I'm using, and the the ISO is maxing out but the corresponding shutter speed is still too slow. It just occured to me that I should do a side-by-side test with my 18-55 VR lenses mounted on the D7100 and D3300 in A with the same auto ISO settings. Thanks again for your insights!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</blockquote>
