Auto ISO min SS PROBLEM!

[@anomaly1591]

I was seriously thinking that my camera was malfunctioning (well, we can still kind of say that!) and did not find anyone talking about it as clearly as you did. Thank you so much! I have just started off with my photography journey and your direct approach in explaining things is much appreciated!

[@joetrent4753]

Because of this annoyance, I tend to shoot in manual with auto ISO and a maximum setting. It's the only way to guarantee the shutter speed doesn't go below a minimum. I use the front dial for shutter speed and use that to control my exposure rather than the exposure comp dial.

[@networkbyedvitug]

I think when you reached the max ISO you set, the camera will prioritize exposure and adjust the shutter speed below your minimum to ensure your exposure is right. It doesn't know if you are using a tripod or just hand held. Love the quality of your videos. Thanks!

[@MusicFed]

sure. but it's stupid that the camera arbitrarily decides to override the very parameter that you wanted locked to a "no less than" in the first place... at least give me the setting "prioritise exposure or shutter speed"

[@explorer8741]

Wow... I was struggling to understand why my Shutter Speed is dropping even below the Min. Shutter Speed I have set in Auto ISO. Your explanation clarifies it. Thanks a TON for the upload. Yeah, it would be good, if a message flashes if the min. SS value is going to drop. However, we do can see the SS number when we observe the viewfinder. It would be great, if camera's can introduce an option, to select handheld, or tripod so that... if it is handheld ISO should grow, if it is Tripod the Shutter Speed can drop.

[@onikaimu]

Great advice, Mike. I remember the last video you talked about it. I started using it right away but realized I rarely run into a problem. Stay safe and I hope everyone you care about are healthy.

[@mikesphotography]

It sounds like you have it set up properly utilising the high ISO capabilities of your camera! 😁👍

[@paton156]

Without reading other comments first my thought is that you can always set the upper maximum ISO to the highest the camera can do. That way the camera will behave more like the name of this function, at least until it reaches that ISO. I agree it would be great if the camera would flash a warning on the screen. On my A6300 the AUTO MINIMUM SS can only be adjusted in full stops. I stopped using the feature when I found myself wishing to use other shutter speeds; e.g. 1/1600s is not available on the A6300 as an AUTO ISO MINIMUM SHUTTER SPEED.

[@mikesphotography]

Most definitely Richard, setting a higher ISO upper limit would help resolve this issue...this was more a video pointing out the one issue with this setting, but in knowing that issue, people can work around it easily with the fix you suggested. It does have its uses but like you said, when you want to really refine the settings you use, that's when it is time to start using the manual mode or have iso on manual so you have the control over the camera and not the other way around. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@SDTEKKEN]

I thought my A7III was broken LOL. Thank you so much for this quick and easy to understand explanation. You rock!

[@mikesphotography]

Haha! It is a weird function that is not explained that well...I'm glad I could help you work out that it is just a programming issue and your A7iii is fine! 😁👍

[@GrandmasterBBC]

For general photography I use this feature almost exclusively. It's just something you need to be aware of and keep an eye on your shutter speed when conditions become darker. At that point you can determine if raising your ISO is acceptable, or if you can handle a lower shutter speed given your current subject.

[@mikesphotography]

Exactly...if you know about it, you can work around it. I just noticed that on my last video on this feature, a lot of people were getting caught out by it. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@thevisi0naryy]

Or the camera could just not move SS below the focal length so you don’t even have to think about this.

[@paololarocca7684]

Hi Mike, I use this feature and to be honest I like the way it works, it makes sense to me, if I am not wrong the fuji system works in the same way.....after all as long as you are aware of the way it works you can manage it and it’s a useful feature, if you want complete control on everything just use full manual mode and use a tripod in low light.....

[@mikesphotography]

Exactly...I was just bringing peoples attention to this as a lot of people had commented on this with my other video on Auto ISO min SS. It is a great function when you know its limitations. 😁👍

[@paololarocca7684]

yes, actually with the sony camera I often use the slow/slower/fast/faster setting instead of manually setting the min ss, from what I understand the camera takes into account both the focal length and the presumed average speed of the subjects photographed so it does even more for me....

[@DavidCJPhotography]

Thanks! I was wondering if there was something wrong with my camera. It really should just underexpose the photo and you would immediately know that something is wrong and either the ISO or the min SS is not enough. I started using this feature for street photography and when it gets dark I have to switch to Manual Mode, not a big deal but the first time I missed a few shots. Great video!

[@mikesphotography]

Hi David, Yes it has caught a few people out when first using it...but it sounds like you figured it out pretty quickly. Switching to manual mode once you hit your limit is probably the best way around this. I just wish they'd give us the option to hard stop the shutter speed so there's no worry of it dropping any further. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@Adi-vq2ek]

That is really interesting, because even Nikon does the same exact thing! I always found it really peculiar. Great vid!

[@mikesphotography]

Thanks very much Aditya! It is a little strange that they don't put a warning on the screen that is more visible than just a flashing setting in the bottom corner. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@gamezswinger]

Loving this idea about a message saying "shutter speed is moving again." This is too logical-it wouldn't fly in the industrial design department! It's better to confuse the end user!!! LOL.

[@FarzadFarzamfar]

As I knew how it worked from the beginning (thanks Mark Galer), that is exactly how I use it. If I am willing to go higher with ISO, I have to change Auto ISO limits. And if I want to let the camera ignore exposure, I go manual. I agree that the name suggests otherwise, but I think this is supposed to work like that from Sony. I would be quite irritated if they changed it ^^

[@mikesphotography]

Yep, the best way to deal with it is to go for a higher ISO max level. It was just interesting to have something named minimum shutter speed and then have it go below this in certain circumstances...and from my other video on this function, I know a few people have been caught out by it. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@Hobbyist.Photographer.]

Oh this totally got me. Got a x100v as an everyday camera and decided to use aperature priority most of the time for walking around. However, using auto iso and minimum shutter speed, I noticed the shutter speed kept going below what I set. I thought there was something wrong with the software!! Now I know better. They need an option in the menu to set a hard stop as well as a pop up saying you’ve reached the limit. I was so confused. But I’ve since realized what was going on.

[@mikesphotography]

It's easy to get caught out by it isn't it...I just find it strange that they've got minimum shutter speed in the name and in certain circumstances, it goes below the minimum you set...🤔 Good to hear you've got the hang of it now. 👍 Thanks for watching 😁

[@alibuhlaiqa8384]

Man it been a while, good to see you back make great video, thanks

[@mikesphotography]

I must have dropped off your feed for a while with that pesky old algorithm ... good to hear you like this one! Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@roho8515]

I set my own ISO and let the SS do the job, especially in broad daylight. But, I do some changes as I go with ISO when I am indoors, which is better than keeping the settings to Manual. Auto ISO min SS is a great custom setting. Great for street photography, fast-action, or fast-paced shooting.

[@mikesphotography]

That's always a good way to do it when you have plenty of light. Manual rules when there's time to dial in the settings. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@DA-yd2ny]

Thanks Mike. I used this feature in the past and I didn’t noticed this problem, however I now prefer to shoot in manual mode; also at events, such as concerts when light conditions keep changing. Btw, I love your tutorials. Keep it up 👍 Thanks

[@mikesphotography]

That's great to hear! You probably had it set up correctly with a high enough ISO level so it didn't start dropping the shutter. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@drachettodraggy]

I have a Sony A7 III and to avoid that problem I raised the maximum ISO for ISO AUTO at 12800 because 1) Better to have a picture with noise than one with micro blur or blur and 2) If we wants to don't go under the ISO AUTO MIN SS, the only way would to raise the ISO up and it's what the camera does if you set a high value for it.

[@mikesphotography]

Exactly. If you know how it works and know its limitations, there are always ways to work around them. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@1337ghomri]

I don't think it's weird. For me it makes sense, that after max ISO, that i drops. Should you not just increase the max ISO then? I have it on 80% of the time. So that my shutter lowest point will go to 1/60, so my images don't get blury, when I shoot handheld. BTW. Keep up the good work. It's amazing you have been going for so long. I really admire you passion and patience with continuing to make videos. In my opinion you are very underrated, and should have a lot more views and followers. But I'm sure it will come with time, if you just keep up the incredible work and you motivation. Your videos are really useful for beginners, and short and easy to watch. So keep it up! Love from Denmark.

[@k1k13004]

It does not make sense. If I tell my camera not to go slower than 1/125, then it should not go slower.

[@mikesphotography]

Thanks Ghomri for your kind words. I'm having a lot of fun making these and have a lot more to come. 😁👍 This is more to bring peoples attention to this function and its limitations...like you said if you increase the max iso it'll alleviate this but it's just interesting as to how they designed it ... with a name of "minimum shutter speed", but under certain circumstances it goes below the minimum you set. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@MusicFed]

@@mikesphotography it drives me NUTS. why couldn't sony (or can now) add a setting like "prioritise exposure or shutter speed" and give the user the ability to decide? after noticing this flaw I pretty much stopped using minimum SS auto ISO as it cannot be trusted. surely it can be done via firmware?...

[@NewYorkStreet]

Thanks for this. The shutter speed should never be allowed to go below frame rate without a deliberate override of normal default settings. I accentually shot a with a lower shutter rate once without even knowing it was possible (because it's so unthinkable as a deliberate design choice). That was a bitter lesson for no good reason.

[@sfiron]

You are so right about your comment about the Sony intern 🙂! Some features and miss-features are hard to understand. No HDR on camera? No stacking on camera? Small rear screen? I can go on for a long list of things I find missing...Just trying to frame an image on that tiny screen and analyzing it is so hard some times...where new mobile phone models just kills it...😞

[@stephenwoodburn2970]

I always use this function, which has saved me many times from blurry photos. It certainly does have its limitations, but with the ISO ability of the Sony cameras, there is a lot of room to maneuver. Hope you and yours are well, brother.

[@mikesphotography]

Exactly...if you know the limitations you can really use it to your advantage...I should have finished this one off slightly differently, saying that if you want the iso to just keep on going, just set it high... 👍 We're all good dude...although Thailand has had a third wave and we're heading into another lockdown by the looks of it. 😫🤦🏻‍♂️ I think the next few vids might be on photo and video editing...and tidying my office at this rate!! 😆😆😆 I hope all is good with you guys! 😁👍

[@Sufibooks]

Thanks Mike Thought I was going crazy until you cleared it up.

[@mikesphotography]

No worries Lou, I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@paulcollingridge8387]

Thanks, I use this all the time with a long lens. I was sure the intern was currently working on stability issues with the phone app, or maybe general usability issues ;-)

[@mikesphotography]

Haha! I think they're working that intern way too hard...and then using them as a scapegoat! 😆

[@bigbikes750]

Thanks, Mike, for the great video and explanation. I have now tried it on a soccer ground with my grandkids and it seems to work well. I have set the max iso up around 3200 and the min ss is set at 1/1000 . But now my question is, prior to using this, I have always just used all Manual settings with the iso set to auto, so should i just keep using manual mode or would you say using the auto iso min ss is a better option for sports throughout the day. Thanks again guys. Cheers

[@paulm8157]

You’ve really got it in for that intern, Mike😁. Clear explanation of the function and problem - common to other camera brands. Perhaps solution would be akin to autofocus preference: release shutter priority, or focus priority. In other words, option to not release the shutter when limits are reached. Does that make sense? To compound the problem, Sony (others, too?) cams don’t display the auto selected ISO value until shutter half press. Cheers!

[@mikesphotography]

That intern just needs to go!! 😆😆😆 Now that would be a great solution...or a slight delay so it jogs your mind to look and check the settings. It's funny how many people have reacted to this video...it's caused a little bit of a stir from the comments I've had!! 😆 Thanks for watching dude 😁👍

[@dclubfoto]

thank you so much . I am trying so hard to fix SS drop when light becomes darke

[@jenniferyoung9540]

I believe Canon has a featured called “Safety Override” that you can enable or disable. If disabled the camera won’t override your minimum shutter selection. This is what Sony needs to add.

[@mikesphotography]

That definitely sounds like a feature that should be in all cameras that have this option. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@MusicFed]

I couldn't agree more. it's quite frustrating that we don't have a way to have the shutter speed really locked. I don't mind underexposing what I do mind is a slower ss that impacts the image and most times can not be rectified. it's so weird

[@rogerd9150]

Amazing video. Now I understand so clearly how it works…and the reason my bird photos are never sharp when I shoot early morning or later in the day (I was wondering if the feature actually worked because I was seeing the shutter speed drop way below the minimum I had set). I’ll have to figure out what to try next.

[@grahamdonaldson7416]

You're in aperture priority and you've told the camera not to go above a fixed ISO setting So if the light drops and the auto ISO system reaches the maximum allowable ISO, the camera only has two options to keep a correct exposure if the light continues to drop - 1 is to lower the shutter speed and 2 - to raise the ISO. You have told it NOT to go above a set ISO, so the only option for the camera is to lower the shutter speed. And yes, it would be nice if the camera would alert the user when this situation happens.

[@allumpfa]

Hi Mike, I use ISO auto min ss a lot and did have a problem with it when I first started using it for the reasons explained in your video. However when I accepted that the min SS is a target only and that exposure is prioritised if ISO and aperture are maxed out i.e. have hit their limits set in camera then I was happy with this as correct exposure is key. The reduction in the shutter speed in the way you demonstrated as the light dropped I found slightly misleading as what is the alternative, if SS was kept at target then image would be very underexposed. Also no account for the effects of image stabilisation that my make longer SS acceptable. I guess in summary I think this is a great feature but some basic knowledge of exposure is assumed but a warning that target is not being met may be a good idea as long as it doesn't get too obtrusive.

[@mikesphotography]

Thanks Peter, It's more a video to point out the problems with it...in having the minimum shutter speed in the label but not adhering to it. If people know what it does and more importantly how it works, it's easier to work with it...like you've found. 😁👍

[@dancheb]

And that can be sort of acceptable behavior with just the ambient light, but doesn't seem to take the on-board flash into account either. Moreover from what I observed (and these were not rigorous controlled tests) using the exposure compensation dial to force the exposure down doesn't seem to work either.

[@Lucamitm]

Thank you, I’ve been banging my head with this !

[@mikesphotography]

It's a little annoying isn't it. 👍

[@Milojs7]

Hi Mike, I'm having a problem with my canon 6D mark ii, on aperture priority even when i have my auto iso limit set to 4000, it will still lower my shutter speed in not even that particular dark scenarios, i want to have my auto iso set to max out at about 6400 but if i change it to that it sets a ridiculous shutter speed around 15 seconds, even in ok lighting! thanks for the great video.

[@diahsuter]

Thank you so much!looking for the answer of this problem.

[@mikesphotography]

Great to hear I could help. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@rahulpawar9036]

I was getting mad for this issue and found your video. Thanks. It should lock the shutter speed as it says but it does not. No point using it. Better to use Manual mode.

[@anisurrahmanrs]

Note If the exposure is insufficient even when the ISO sensitivity is set to [ISO AUTO Maximum] in [ISO AUTO], in order to shoot with an appropriate exposure, the shutter speed will be slower than the speed set in [ISO AUTO Min. SS]. In the following situations, the shutter speed may not function as set: When using the flash to shoot bright scenes. (The maximum shutter speed is limited to the flash-syncing speed of 1/160 second.) When using the flash to shoot dark scenes with the [Flash Mode] set to [Fill-flash]. (The minimum shutter speed is limited to the speed automatically determined by the camera.)

[@dancheb]

I'm just starting to utilize this function. So perhaps, I'm not fully understanding it, but I found a more serious issue in conjunction with the mentioned one. And that is when utilizing the flash. Not only it does not preserve the minimum shutter speed when shooting with ambient light (which you could argue might make sense as some safety buffer), it doesn't do it when shooting with on-board flash either. It doesn't seem to be capable of figuring out that it can raise the output level of the flash to compensate for faster shutter speed and thus preserve the exposure that way.

[@mikesphotography]

Good point ... I think they neglect a lot of the ways that flash could be incorporated into these slightly more automated systems they build into the cameras.

[@dancheb]

@@mikesphotography OK, so I have researched it some more and played around with the camera. First of all this behavior seems to be a common behavior across camera brands. Also the minimum shutter speed is not used at all when using flash as specified in at least some user manuals of other brands. Not sure about Sony. When turning on the flash, the shutter speed automatically goes to 1/60 as minimum. And if stabilization is turned on (Stedicam), this shutter speed is maintained irregardless of focal length. However, a camera like Canon EOS-1Dx mark iii has some special separate settings ( "Flash Sync Speed in Av Mode"), that can apparently force the camera to maintain the shutter speed within a certain range or fixed when using the flash in Av mode.

[@tanmaysakpalofficial]

This happens in video aperture priority mode too right?

[@LakeSuperiorPhoto]

Thanks for this. Why have a min shutter speed if it's not a hard stop and the camera overrides it. Has there been any updates or firmware upgrades addressing this issue?

[@LakeSuperiorPhoto]

I have an a7sii using for a webcam and the exposure ramping is impossible for video once the ss drops below 1/20, and I don't want to crank the iso into the stratosphere to compensate

[@davidgscott]

Sony should provide an option to prioritise either iso, ss, both or neither.

[@mikesphotography]

Exactly...It would be good to have the option to pick which one is the hard stop... Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@VanLifeTravelogue]

There's two additional issues that I experience with auto iso min ss on Sony cameras...1. In aperture priority/auto iso min ss, the shutter speed only functions in whole stop increments instead of 1/3 stops. Why Sony why?! 2. You cannot utilize a control wheel to change the auto iso min ss which makes it a multi-step/time intensive process to change settings quickly in environments where the amount of available light or the speed of the subject rapidly changes. Fuji cameras have 1/3 stop increments to solve #1 but I'm not aware of any brands that solve #2 directly. I haven't used Canon's Fv mode but I assume that may have improved functionality over Sony auto iso min ss.

[@leestringer7308]

Good evening i have just purchased the Sony A7 R V and just watched one of your tutorials on Min Shutter speed in auto iso . I have changed my max iso to 3200 and min shutter speed to 250 . The issue I'm getting is this is not reflected on the rear screen , showing 1/20 up to 1/100 . Im i wrong in thinking it should not drop below 1/250 Also at f/2.8 . Thank you in advance. Lee Stringer

[@DanieleLombardo]

hello friend, ( in video mode ) is it possible to set a minimum and maximum shutter time in this mode? because when there is little light the times have come too much to 1/20 making everything lag! it can be set 1/100 as the maximum? thank you!!

[@flyonthewall987]

Hello, thank you for all this info, I need help with the auto iso, I did set my auto iso at a party with indoor light, and during the shooting, the photos looked good, but when I zoomed in I see a lot of noise, how can you help me?

[@mikesphotography]

If the noise is too much, you can use a program such as topaz denoiser ... also, if you don't like the amount of noise you are getting in party scenarios, the best bet is to start using a flash and shoot in manual mode with iso set as low as possible. This will mean you decide how much light is in the scene and how much noise is in the photos you take. I hope that helps.

[@wanderdutts4584]

Great video. I have an a6700, any idea the highest iso for this without too much noise? I'm a total beginner so just trying to understand it all.

[@123sette]

In my case, de camera is acting still more weird : when I set the min.SS (in A priority) to eg. 2000 (for action photo's), the shutterspeed gets all the values up to 1/2000, but never abóve 1/2000, not even if I force it by holding it up to bright light. I haven't a clue what this is or what I did wrong, so seeing your other video I now set the minSS to 'fast' instead.

[@tamj0506]

My Fuji XT2 will also change the shutter speed when max iso is reached.

[@mikesphotography]

Yep, it seems as though most brands do it this way. It would just be good to get more of a warning as quite a lot of people are caught out by this thinking that they've set the minimum shutter speed, only to have it go below that in certain circumstances. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@mac69041]

If you set you shutter speed and your aperture, iso should adjust accordingly. I do wildlife photography and being new to Sony I’m finding my shutter speed altering a disaster! How do I disable it?

[@thephotolifestyleblog]

I do buddy! I negate that problem by setting the ISO limit as high as possible. Like 10,000 on Z6 Nikon. But as far as I know all cameras do the same, it's really annoying 😂

[@mikesphotography]

That's the best way to get around it...and with these modern day cameras, they can handle the higher iso levels. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@dane652]

Great info! Cheers

[@mikesphotography]

Thanks very much Dane! 😁👍

[@DanielJamesPhotography]

I agree that this is an annoying and dumb mistake. Nikon does the same. You set a minimum SS for a reason and then it gets overridden.

[@mikesphotography]

It would be so much better if we could choose which one had the hard stop. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@yvonnejohnson3198]

I am new to the A7iii and definitely annoyed by the ISO minimum settings. I use scenic modes a lot but the ISO kicks up way to high creating huge noise issues and pretty much ruining my photos. This is a glitch not found in the Sony 6000.

[@BlackwaterAquatics]

i wish in video that they tell us the ISO value when using auto iso

[@mikesphotography]

Yes, that would be so much better...maybe a different colour number so we know it's in auto iso...but showing the number would be so much better. 👍

[@BlackwaterAquatics]

@@mikesphotography yes this is important when filming with auto iso and using a variable ND. You don't always know when you are using too much or too little ND and doing this could let pull back on the nd a bit so that the auto exposure isn't exposing high ISO range.

[@veselinvasilev9362]

Thank you very much!

[@monishbakshi732]

I still have not been able to change the exposure compensation when i am on auto iso.. Using a canon 80d. Any help / tip greatly appreciated..

[@thevisi0naryy]

Dude preach, this is absolutely infuriating and stops me from using aperture priority. Why min SS doesn’t or can’t work like auto iso is beyond me.

[@mikesphotography]

Exactly...it would be so much better if it just gave us a warning when hitting the upper iso limit...instead of that one being a hard limit. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@christianbraun2560]

I would love to use this function, the most time I shoot dogs and I need a SS between 1/1250 and 1/1600 in my Sony camera i can only choose 1/1000 or 1/2000, this is really shitty 😕 I think it's not a big deal to fix this with firmware. I hope the future will bring the feature to us...

[@marclabro]

nice tuto. It is exactly the way i want my a7m4 behaves for action with a preset : raw, mode A, AF-C, F/2.8, auto iso with range 100-6400, min ss=1/1000sec. However when i turn the camera to a lower light place, iso raises up to 25600 before ss starts lowering at 1/500sec... Why 25600 instead of native 51200 and how is it possible iso can go beyond 6400 range ?

[@sfiron]

incredibly helpful. thanks

[@SmolStufff]

Just tried this with my nikon z50. It behaves in exactly the same way. It is strange that it ignores the setting of minimum shutter speed. The only way I can see to fix this is if it would give you options on what you want to do next after it has reached the minimum shutter speed and max ISO. Auto ISO only seems to work like I want it in manual mode. So for example when trying to take pictures of animals I set my aperture to the setting I want for depth of field. I set the shutter speed to freeze or blur movement depending on how I feel and I let the camera figure out the ISO. That's the only situation I use auto ISO in to be honest.

[@mikesphotography]

Good to hear you've found a set of settings that works for you. It seems like most camera brands do it this way...it would be so much better to be able to select which setting has the hard stop...but I suppose the way around it is to increase the max iso limit. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@chrisvantwiskphotography]

Thanks mike. Just the thing I was wondering about. That’s for addressing and yes the may fire that intern. FFS lol 😂

[@mikesphotography]

Haha!! I think they just keep the intern hired so they have someone to blame!! 😆😆😆

[@instantesnet]

So according to the comments, Nikon (at least the Z50) and Fuji (X100V and XT2) behave in the same way... (which I hate). Is there any brand that doesn't go beyond the shutter speed limit? Thanks for the video.

[@mikesphotography]

Yep, it looks like this is the way they all design it. It would be great to just have a visible warning of some kind...or some way of locking the shutter speed in place as a hard stop... Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@merchant100]

What if I set a higher MAX ISO say really high like 100000 will it still lower the shutter speed? Coz that’s what I’m facing

[@MrGaborBalla]

My problem is with canon eos r and rp if i use flash this minimum shutter speed doesnt works at all, ive tried in ettl and manual mode both.

[@gtsewell77]

Yeah I use this but have the max iso set to 12800 and keep an eye on the shutter speed. I have it set like this most of the time.

[@mikesphotography]

That's the way to do it Gareth! With the iso levels we can push these cameras to nowadays, 12800 is a good cutoff point. 😁👍

[@FreeSpeakInDemocracy]

Can a7ii using aperture priority, within fixed iso, (the ss is auto)

That Sony intern seems to have forgotten to fix that lamp behind you to point downwards properly. #OCD

Lol!! I'd better sack him!! 😆😆😆

[@furulevi]

In dark conditions better use S mode, that really keeps the shutter speed at the minimum desired level.

That is true.

[@medic2299]

I also find in the other extreme, extreme brightness, the shutter speed will not increase once ISO reaches iso100. You merely get the overexposure warning. Odd, counter intuitive setting

I use this feature a lot, but I don't have a iso limit so I don't have to deal with this problem. But of course this doesn't justify the way it works. Sony should fix this!

[@rezasurmar]

I am set to a high maximum ISO level. Better noisy than blurred photo

[@mikesphotography]

Exactly! That's the way to get around it. 😁👍

[@mickeyschwartz]

My Sony 7Riii ISO AUTO Min SS is not working. It is a maximum shutter speed not a minimum. I set ISO AUTO to 100 and 102400, ISO AUTO Min SS to 1/2000 for some bird photography. Depending on the light, the shutter speed changes from 100 up to 2000. Shouldn't it be the opposite.

[@mikesphotography]

I tried it out with my A7iv, and it seems as though it has an internal maximum iso setting of 12800 in the ISO auto min SS setting, even when the iso limit is set higher. If the camera can get 1/2000 and the iso in auto is determined to be lower than 12800, then it keeps the shutter speed to 1/2000. However, as soon as it hits 12800, it doesn't want to go any higher and starts to adjust the shutter speed accordingly. The best way to get around this is to shoot in shutter priority at 1/2000 if that is your most important setting, or even manual with auto iso. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching 👍

omg thats the stupidest thing I have notice on Sony camera :( I thought in higher range cameras with minimum shutter speed would help because my a6400/a6000 doesn't have this minimum shutter speed setting. but now I feel like giving up getting a a7iii -_- thansk for video!

[@mikesphotography]

If you set the max iso limit higher, it does work a lot better, but I just found it weird that they've got minimum shutter speed in the name and in certain circumstances, it goes below the minimum you set...🤔 The A7iii is a fantastic camera...and it still will be for years to come. 😁👍

[@PIXELvoiz]

@@mikesphotography have you used a a6xxx before? do you see outstanding image quality when compare a7iii with a6xxx?

[@paton156]

Hello PIXELvoiz. I am surprised you say that your A6400 does not have the 'Auto ISO minimum shutter speed' function. I have this function on my A6300, which is an earlier model.

[@PIXELvoiz]

@@paton156 oh I was searching this comment I made. later I found that setting hidden on my a6400 (bit new for me) haha sorry I take it back :)

[@MigrationmediaAu]

Yeah very annoying, shooting ASTRO timelapse using Syrp Linear and Genie and would prefer to have max 15s shutter to allow smoother motion through the timelapse.

[@mikesphotography]

Yeah, it would be good if we could set hard stops on either of these settings...that would make it much more usable. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@MigrationmediaAu]

@@mikesphotography thanks Mike, love your videos, keep them coming

[@333raffles]

My Sony a7iii is overexposing on a bright day. My settings are, Auto iso min ss 2000 F5.6 Multi metering 0 exp comp. Drive mode high Focus mode af-c Iso auto min 100 max 12800 The iso tends to stay at 12800, even though I’m tracking a bird in the bright sky. I don’t want to bring the iso max down in case the auto iso min ss takes the shutter speed down. Lens limitation prevents opening aperture wider.

[@mikesphotography]

Hi Colin, It sounds like you need to set your camera up a bit differently for bright days. It sounds like there is enough light about on those bright days when it does over expose, so for those days, I'd shoot in shutter priority with auto ISO, I'd then use my exposure compensation dial to control the exposure, and this would probably give you some better exposures. It's all about experimenting until you find a setting set that works for you ... and you probably need different ones for different shooting environments. I was photographing a pro kitesurfer a few years ago. When I was facing the sun, I had to drop the exposure compensation down to -2 and when he was side lit, I had to crank it back up to 0. I hope that helps. 👍

[@AadeshKumar45]

My a6100 does not have minimum shutter speed option,very idiotic and frustrating, whereas my most basic nikon D3500 has this feature, this seems intentional by Sony.

[@NAYNO]

it's very disappointing to me, i own a a6600, set maximum ISO to 102400, ISO to AUTO and SS limit to 500, but i still get SS to 1/50 with ISO saying "AUTO" when i do some test shots in my kitchen with artifical lights! WTF am i doing wrongly? Thanks for sharing knowledge anyway!

[@mikesphotography]

You're basically taking the camera past the settings you have set, so it is overriding them. It would be so much better if Sony would give us the option to have it as a hard stop so we could tell the camera to never go past the shutter we set.

[@DD-yy4qo]

this short video is so much better than Mark Galer's 30 min of nonsense

[@DD-yy4qo]

after watchin 20 min of that other video i still didnt have a clue how to use the setting

[@mikesphotography]

Lol! So you don't like listening to Mark Droning on for hour after hour!? 🤔 😆 Well thanks for watching my video, and hopefully you got all the info you needed from my video. 😁👍

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

I dont see this as a problem. I guess it could be for certain genres of photography or lighting conditions. But i never experienced it as a issue.

[@mikesphotography]

No worries, I was just bringing it to people's attention as I had so many comments about this on my other video on how to use this function. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@whereisjohnnow]

auto iso min ss is very confusing. it doesn't work as you expect. there should be a way to keep the desired minimum shutter speed dropping when max iso is reached. this becomes an issue when shooting handheld. Better to increase max iso instead. it's better to have a noisy shot than a blurry shot.

[@Osprey6m]

It is annoying and for the reasons you highlight. The speed should be a hard limit.

[@richdifeo7829]

Just raise the max ISO

[@mikesphotography]

This video is just highlighting the reason why people start to see the shutter change again when using this feature. You're right, raising the max iso is the way to solve it, but some people are a lot more sensitive to high ISO noise than others so they might not want to go above a certain iso level...but thanks for your thoughts.

[@richdifeo7829]

@@mikesphotography very true. As a Sony shooter, I tend to think less about higher ISO noise. Plus I think it’s easier to de-noise a shot than to de-blur it. Great video.

[@miklosnemeth8566]

I don't think this behavior is weirder than increasing ISO. The more conservative behavior would be to let the photographer underexpose and start blinking shutter sppeed and ISO labels on the screen displaying the level of underexposing.

[@seek3n]

Basically this function doesn't work.

[@mikesphotography]

It does work, it just doesn't have a hard stop when you reach the limits you have set.

[@staezione]

Not a problem with iso greater than 200k lol

[@mikesphotography]

Haha! That is true! 😆
