[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 662713, member: 15302"] I shot a friend's birthday party the other night. The D850 was on a tripod in the "studio" for strobe-lit head and group shots. I used the D800 and a Nikon speedlight for pics around the house. There were a lot of fun shots taken that way, but I was disappointed with overall quality and sharpness. Turns out the Auto-ISO was on. I had set ISO to 400 (so as not to overtax the batteries), but did NOT notice that Auto was on. I did notice the sharpness was a bit reduced when checking the shots on the back of the camera, but I attributed that to the 28-300 lens I was using. The camera was shooting at 2200 to 2500 ISO as its default with the speedlight! Bugs the hell out of me that I overlooked that fact. These photos would have been so much less grainy at 400. Now I want a menu setup option that says "No Auto-ISO when using flash" so I don't make that mistake again. Any ideas for how to permanently avoid this mistake in the future? [/QUOTE]
