I may have used it once or twice. On top of the auto iso setting on I'm also deciding on if I'm also shooting A aperture preferred, S shutter preferred ( about never) or M Manual. But the M manual its really not manual with me as the iso changes with the light. The iso is always turned on. So the M setting with iso just ends up being you have your F-stop and shutter speed settings both locked in more so than with the A and S modes. That works out sometimes but you can miss some shots sometimes of you're not totally on top of it if the light changes too fast you can under expose. when it gets just too dark for your setting or over expos? whine you go into the sunlight. As your F-stop and shutter speed setting are not going to move when you go out of gamut.
