Guest Posted June 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Guys I have a question about setting up my new M10 with regards to the auto ISOLATION settings......... What is a safe high end number? On my S007 I use 1600......can the M10 handle that especially for portraits Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

preneeth Posted June 22, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 22, 2018 If correct exposure then upp to 6400 ISO would be a great limit. But you can push it to mayby 10 000 ISO, but then it ca be issues such as banding etc. Please have a look at my photograph here I took at 10 000 ISO: http://preneeth.se/img/srilanka_2018/srilanka_2018/L1000367.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmars Posted June 22, 2018 Share #4 Posted June 22, 2018 My setting is 10.000 ISO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 22, 2018 My setting is 10.000 ISO.and with that you get usable portraits???Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmars Posted June 22, 2018 Share #6 Posted June 22, 2018 It depends on what You call usable. When the light is very low so You probably Need 10000 ISO, then the light is normally so bad, that the Quality of 10000 is sufficient. With better light You don´t need 10000 ISO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted June 22, 2018 Share #11 Posted June 22, 2018 Neil, only you can decide what acceptable image quality you're prepared to accept for what subject matter from that pint-sized full-frame sensor. Why don't yo take some photos at different ISOs and decide what's acceptable to you for your needs. Personally, if I'm using Auto ISO for more general uses I limit mine to 3200, above that I'll decide whether I'm prepared to further compromise IQ. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a ball park number I was looking for my experience with Leica SL M240 was anything over 1600 was crap unless it was a night biding scean or something like that. I'm getting the M10 for my noctilux so that certainly helps in low light. Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELAN Posted June 22, 2018 Share #13 Posted June 22, 2018 On the M10 my max ISO is 6400 (and 12,500 on M mode, which I rarely use). In the dark I find it more useful to set the camera to fully manual, because any light source in the background (however small and off-center) will usually cause the camera to underexpose. I take a couple of test shots, chimp and check the histogram, and then I'm ready to shoot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted June 22, 2018 Share #14 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) So you broke down and got an M10 after all... I don’t bother with auto anything. The M is a great manual tool. Only you can assess print quality standards. Depending on the pic and desired rendering, I’ve had no issues going to 3200.

elmars Posted June 22, 2018 Share #15 Posted June 22, 2018 In the M9 days, everybody says, You only can go to 640 or 800 ISO. But in real life and not in a pixelpeaking way of inspecting I took great images at 1600 ISO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted June 22, 2018 Share #16 Posted June 22, 2018 Also, Neil, while you’re worrying (needlessly IMO) about auto ISO, you can try to figure out your preferred ‘base’ ISO... 100 or 200? https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/268833-iso-100-on-m10/page-1 Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted June 22, 2018 Share #17 Posted June 22, 2018 I knew you would do it Neil....! I also never use auto ISO. I might give it a try some time but I have my way of using the M10 which works for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seldom use the dial, I use the screen. I keep the dial on M and ISO is in my favorites menu. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted June 23, 2018 Share #20 Posted June 23, 2018 The dial can be left in the up position when shooting, if changes are anticipated. But lifting the dial is like everything else when growing accustomed to one’s gear.... practice makes it second nature. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
