yanidel Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share #21 Posted September 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Of course it will. Which is why you need to choose a corresponding aperture that's right (at least in general terms) for the light you're in. But what it will give you is 4 stops to play with, which is more than enough for street photography. Well, if 4 stops are enough for you, great, but is not for me as I like selective focus and thin DOF (lot of wide open shots). 1/500 for apertures between f1.2 and f5.6 will usually result in over-exposure on a sunny day.

ndjambrose Posted September 16, 2009 Share #22 Posted September 16, 2009 So pick a higher shutter speed? You seem to be determined to make the camera not work for you. Auto ISO is powerful and flexible, as long as you're prepared to be a little bit flexible too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto ISO is powerful and flexible, as long as you're prepared to be a little bit flexible too. You seem to be the one that seem determined to make a simple request a complicated one. I am almost always on Auto ISO and it works absolutely great for me. Nevertheless, simply having the option to set a higher minimum speed would make it even better in certain conditions. Apparently, this is also the opinion of quite a few other people on this forum. I don't see in what way this change could negatively impact you. If higher minimum speeds are of no use to you, than don't use it (if it is ever updated). If the camera works great for you this way, wonderful, but don't simply assume that if it works for you, it has to work for others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndjambrose Posted September 16, 2009 Share #24 Posted September 16, 2009 I think you ought to re-read my posts before you go off tangent. I offered no opinion about a higher minimum speed. I didn't say I wanted it - or that I didn't want it. I simply told you how to achieve the goal you asked for (to shoot at a speed above 1/125 with auto ISO enabled). The fact is, your camera right now can do exactly what you want it to do. I had hoped you might find that information useful and perhaps it could be a practical way of working for you until such time, if ever, that the auto iso minimum speed is extended. I know why you want the feature because I shoot in similar conditions to you and have the same needs. But I don't see why you're being so angry when someone tries to offer you a different level of insight, particularly when they use it for the same purposes as you and have found ways to make the current features work more usefully.

My last post on this because really I don't come here to flame others nor to be flamed. So I am not angry and if you feel I was, sorry about that I did read your advice, reflected on this solution and then answered that it would not work in all cases. You following comments got a bit off track IMO, but no big deal. Good night! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanidel Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share #29 Posted September 17, 2009 ...says a lot about what automation lets you get away with, yanidel. Isn't it great? Aperture priority + auto ISO mean you don't have to worry on exposure in most cases. This is indeed great as you can focus on the most important, what is in the frame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolu Posted September 22, 2009 Share #30 Posted September 22, 2009 ... I had hoped you might find that information useful and perhaps it could be a practical way of working for you until such time, if ever, that the auto iso minimum speed is extended.... In fact I found this very useful ! Thanks a lot - didn't think about that. Does anyone know, what priority Auto Iso has? Does it always try to get the lowest ISO before shortening the time?

jaapv Posted September 22, 2009 Share #31 Posted September 22, 2009 Yes- it goes down to the lowest specified time (or keeps the time constant in manual, obviously) and after that adjusts ISO accordingly, within the maximum specified. After that, as it hits the highest ISO it will lengthen the time again.(again, not in manual, it goes into underexposure). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
