Don't make this COMMON MISTAKE in MANUAL with AUTO ISO!

[@simon_dentremont]

What’s your favorite auto iso technique?

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

First i try not to forget the metering mode so that the auto ISO will be calculated with the right portion of the image. Then i check with my chosen aperture and shutter speed what happens while moving my camera around the scene, to discover what happens to the auto ISO values, if they go beyond the limits. Then i adjust my aperture and shutter speed if needed then shoot !

[@arthur3038]

Mainly shows, concerts and theatre... ultra fast light changes.Canonb R5's Depth of field is very, very important for us and as a second shutter speed. We shoot live shows mainly with AV ... Auto ISO ... use and control the exposure compensation down to sometimes two stops, sometimes even 3 stops and back to 0 depending on the conditions...(Theatre light, spotlight, fireflames etc.) We limit the exposure time to a minimum of 1/125 /250 /500th (depending on the Focal length in use and type of show) limit ISO max. 12,800. Why not M-Mode? So we can control the exposure compensation quickly and efficiently using the control wheel.

[@spyder000069]

I just set the max iso in the settings to what i feel comfortable with. Now auto iso cant go above that and you can forget about it. I then set my desired aperture. Now i only need to focus on shutter speed which i can do on the fly just by watching the histogram and what the scene looks like in the view finder. If the image gets too dark and i know i am slow on shutter i know im out of light. Just a hobbyist but thats how i handle it. Now the only problem with auto iso is sometimes it might select a lower iso making the scene dark and this will affect autofocus so you have to get enough light to the sensor first (for example to expose the eye) before activating the autofocus. Of course you can tune with the exposure comp as long as there is still headroom left

[@Llama.7890]

choose my shutter, and aperture and just trust it

[@chassaj1105]

The last one! I'd all but given up on auto iso because all too often I'd end up over exposed, but I bet this tip will solve it :)

[@joededomenic4478]

I swear, Simon. You're probably the only photographer on KZbin that can intelligently explain the nuances of camera settings and modes and they're uses. Instead of being part of the "you can only use this mode, you can only shoot this style, you can NEVER do this or that" crowd. You explain so easily that you have to do what the scene requires to get the shot, not stay inside some imaginary set of rules. I've learned so much from your videos, thank you!

[@OdamaKamayuka]

The only one you know of*. Because there's plenty smart and wise photographers on KZbin. I dont get why so many people belittle others in order to compliment someone.

@OdamaKamayuka No doubt there's plenty of smart and wise photographers on KZbin, I've watched many of them. But, I've yet to come across another that can interpret and teach information in such a way as Simon. Not belittling anyone else, just tired of hearing/reading from so many photographers that there's only one way to go about things and if it's not their way, it's wrong.

[@JAPhotographs]

This was one of the best things I ever learned. Glad to see that someone made a comprehensive video and explaining it very simply. Even if you think you've made the right choices, and the resulting images don't look so great, most folks are quick to blame the camera. Camera's rarely fail at their job. Our assessment of the scene and our behavior upon the camera in choosing the best settings for the situation are something we should all learn to wrap our head (and eyes) around. Great video.

[@BarneyGumbl3]

People like to forget that people 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago were taking world class photos on cameras with worse specs than even the cheapest entry level cameras from today. The camera does not make the photographer good, the photographer makes the camera good.

Thanks as always for your reassurance that there's more than one way to tackle the thorny subject of settings! And why. And for debunking all those ISO myths.

Thanks a lot for this video, most of the time there is a take away also for a bit more experienced fotographer. Apart from that it´s fun to watch them.

[@JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

Fantastic! What I have found that this does, is give a really nice set of applicable “guard rails” for newer hobbyists (such as myself) to quickly figure out what our aperture and shutter speed needs to be, for nice, sharp, photographs, with minimal noise. I have been applying your advice here, over the past week or so, and have gotten excellent results. I’ve found that it also lets me know when I actually need to use flash, in lowlight, indoor situations, (where flash is permitted). I’m going to keep on working manual, with auto ISO for the foreseeable future, until my experience level reaches where I can get off of auto ISO. But just this alone, has really increased my understanding of what I’m actually doing, and how to get the results of what I’m looking to accomplish. Thanks for this video. Of all the countless videos I’ve watched, your’s has helped me the most, in taking better photos.

[@xenor9262]

Aperture priority with minimum shutter speed and max ISO (camera is going below the limit only if it hits max ISO) is usually my preferred mode and possibly one of the biggest advantages of upgrading my gear to a camera that has that option. Good to hear from you about using auto modes - my first introduction to photography was always 'use full manual' and it got me really discouraged for a while.

[@Bin909able]

What does the camera do when you fall out of the bandwidth of those settings? Also, will it priorise speed before iso?

[@xenor9262]

@Bin909able it first goes to max ISO I've set, then if there's not enough light it will lower the shutter speed from the 'preferred' down to whatever let's enough light for good exposure. Or I can open up the aperture manually to let more light to balance it out, or move exposure compensation if I'm okay with underexposed

[@Bin909able]

​@@xenor9262 that's a fast and clear answer, thanks! ❤

[@alexalexandre19]

very interesting configuration! probably one of the best mode/configuration to give someone else the camera to take a pic of you hahaha

[@MurrayVader-xp8iv]

Thanks Simon. I've been doing this since I watched an earlier video you did on the subject. It works great. It think for a lot of people it's still a matter of practice to get better at it and that takes time. Photography can't be hurried. You need to give yourself time to develop the skills

[@davidpruitt3255]

Simon I absolutely love the way you explain photography concepts. Anytime someone asks me questions I answer them myself then include a link to your videos if they want a more context rich explanation they can reference for the future. My only disagreement here is that I don't find Auto ISO worth using in concert photography. Because of how lighting changes dramatically while the speed of the action usually does not, I find it best to manually adjust my ISO. I'm sure that's unique to that style of photography though. Cheers my man!

great stuff. Since your last video on this topic, I followed your advice... albeit at the drag racetrack. At this particular track I am able to stand track side to get the racers jumping off the line. I experimented with what works best with freezing the action; and I found that given the time of day and the quality of the light I can get 1/2000 at F8 with a max iso of 2000. and the photos clean up very nicely. usually shot at the early evening time. When it is early day or mid-day, with the same settings I get 200 iso and get very nice images with minor clean up. I'm always mindful as you pointed out, not to go too high on the ISO.

I watched this video some time ago and decided to give it a try. I had been primarily using aperture priority for the last 30 years. I briefly tried aperture priority with auto ISO, and didn't love it. Since giving manual exposure with auto ISO a try, I haven't switched back to aperture priority at all. Now I always use manual exposure and sometimes use manual ISO. This was a long form version of saying, thank you!!

[@simon_dentremont]

Great to hear!

[@fiddleandfart]

Yeah, me too! I too was an aperture-priority person... till I discovered auto-ISO! (Classic advertising line). And yes, on my FF D780, noise remains pretty acceptable to remarkable levels. And by the way, is this camera a low-light demon! "Daylight" - level frames captured in seriously dingy conditions! Auto-ISO is brilliant!

[@angelsepulveda9211]

Def right Simon, learn this very well when photographing short ear owls. Most people left when the sun was setting and had better prime lenses than me, i had the rf 100-500mm lens, But applying this process, got some cool pics and got to see them fly around hunting for food.

[@DavidSwarthout]

Excellent as usual, Simon! I use auto-ISO exclusively for bird photography so I get into that same tug-of-war when shooting in early morning or evening. My lens is wonderful but it's only f/7.1 at its widest so I fiddle with the shutter speed constantly. By the way, the newest version of ACR did a brilliant job of removing the noise from images I was forced to shoot in near darkness at ISO 12,800 with my R5. It's truly amazing! It takes forever to run Denoise in ACR on a large RAW file but it's well worth the wait.

[@iamamandamyrick]

I like to think of ISO as a sort of measurement for how much light is getting into the camera. Once I switched to that mindset, ISO got much easier for me, and became a much more useful tool for judging exposure and a signal for whether I have my other settings set right or not! I know the exposure meter does that too, but I usually see the ISO first.

[@simon_dentremont]

I totally agree!

[@user-pg5rt7ju4f]

Ordinarily if you picked an iso, u set speed = 1/iso sec (+ consideration of focal length) & estimate/adjust from there. W/ auto iso, the iso is actually the last thing I care about to make the chosen settings work. It's the meter that does the actual measurement (based on your shooting settings) to actuate an "electronic-iso" amplification.

[@CJ_536]

I only consider myself a beginner, and I do not shoot action. I shoot landscape and nature closeups like flowers (not macro - just very close.). So one might think full manual would be perfect for me. However, after listening to another video of yours recommending it, I tried manual with auto-ISO and found it has dramatically improved my photos. This is because most of my photos are taken in rapidly changing light (first light to an hour after sunrise or an hour before sunset to last light). So I experimented with the best aperture for each of my lenses for the type of photo I want and have found a pretty consistent setting for those. I alter the shutter speed with the light and the lens, since I almost always shoot handheld and need to account for my movement. And suddenly, my photos are much better and less noisy, because all I think about is finding the best shutter speed for the light. So thank you for your wonderful videos. They have really helped me improve.

[@jasonbokar7482]

I do use auto-iso quite a lot in street photography. Set at f8 at 1/500th and almost everything is fine during the day. Might drop to f5.6 or lower when the light is bad. However, one problem is how to adjust for tricky lighting. When all you have is Auto-ISO, you can adjust for the lighting like you can with Aperture Priority + Auto ISO, because then you can adjust exposure compensation. In Manual (at least on my Nikon) - I can't adjust exposure compensation. Of course, you can choose a different metering mode (spot for example) but that's not the best for a quick changing scene on the street. This was a very nice video and well done! Thanks for it!

[@christophermason7735]

I changed my camera from a canon 760D to a 7D Mark II to get this setting and it's amazing. I learned this from you in an older video. I use for nature, street and most hand held photography. Topaz or DXO takes care of the noise in most cases.

That is a very good point! In any auto mode you always have to keep an eye on your settings to get the results you want, as the camera cannot know what is important to you.
