This afternoon I put my camera in Aperture priority mode with the following settings.
f8
ISO-A (automatic ISO)
Minimum shutter speed 1/125
Maximum ISO 3200
My thoughts being that the camera would select the minimum shutter speed first (right brain logic) and adjust the ISO up to 3200 to get the best exposure.
I understand that it might select ISO first and adjust the shutter accordingly too - I am not sure which takes priority in selection.
However all my photos were shot at ISO 400 and the shutter speed varied between 1/40 and 1/80 of a second.
Can anyone explain this to me please?
I have just read the online manual for the D5100 and I think I am doing everything right but the results confuse me.
