Like the others responding, I set the shutter speed and aperture manually and let the camera (Fuji X-E1) pick the ISO (range from 200-6400 for raw files). It appears that the camera is using the exposure mode selected to determine AE (i.e., spot, average or multi), and you can change it even though not in AE mode. Also I notice that AE/AF lock works for recomposing (although the ISO changes it you move it way off the mark). Very neat. I think this is a good solution for the Fuji at least, since it has little noise at higher ISO's. Thx for posting the question - always something new to learn.

Rather than varying f stop or time of exposure Mark pushed the idea of varying ISO settings using AUTO ISO. Ideal for many conditions this is being widely used. Fast digital cameras NOW have various AUTO ISO systems built into the program options. I generally shoot fast glass at full aperture, in aperture priority mode. I would like to learn more about Auto ISO mode, its use, strengths and weaknesses, impact on the results...from Mark and other friends here, so please don't hesitate, thanks, Steve _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
