Also the auto iso forces you to become familiar with your whole range of so settings and the results they produce. In my case 64,000 is the highest range the auto iso will give you you'd have to turn off auto iso to get higher but I simply never do that. But I do learn that 64,000 on my D700 looks like iso 400 color neg. better than iso 800 color neg. and that was pretty darned usable or is in the present tense. When you buy lots of cameras nowadays the auto iso is as a default turned on. And of course its in the M0 and I'm sure the new M's. Question is it is in the S? Would hate to make an S outa myself and guess. On 6/7/13 5:42 PM, "Richard S. Taylor" <r.s.taylor at comcast.net> wrote: > Mark - You are a genius! I just tried this method with my X Pro-1.
