“Shooting Nikon DSLR cameras in manual mode with auto ISO” is a new article by Steve Perry (website | YouTube | Facebook). You can check also his previous [NR] posts:
Did you know your Nikon camera has a “hidden” exposure mode?
Sure, we’re all familiar with Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual – but there’s one that’s left off of the list – and that’s Manual Mode with Auto ISO.
Basically, this setup allows you to adjust your F/stop and shutter speed to exactly what you want and it floats the ISO in order to generate a proper exposure.
At first this may not sound like that big of a deal, but imagine a mode where YOU get to set the most important parts of the exposure equation – the F/stop and shutter speed – and you let the camera figure out the exposure by adjusting the ISO.
