[QUOTE="Bengt Nyman, post: 459977, member: 13692"] Agreed, and unfortunate. I would like to see a custom setting allowing me to make the selected Minimum shutter speed a hard limit, like shooting in S or M. I want this because when shooting birds in flight under varying conditions a floating shutter speed is undesirable while occasional underexposure is easily corrected in post processing. If I shoot in M, even when using Auto ISO, I give up some of the flexibility and optimization that the camera automation offers. Obviously, I should shoot in S. Well, try doing that with a D800E or a D810 and the Nikkor 300 mm f/4 D with a TC III. S mode is simply not available, because the lens lacks electronic aperture control and the newer TC IIIs lack mechanical aperture control. Now you will probably tell me to upgrade to the new Nikkor 300 mm f/4 PF VR. I might do that. However, resolution tests from LenScore and LensTip are not promising and I do not expect anything more encouraging from DxO. [/QUOTE]
