You may be sure, but you may also be wrong ;-) However I am in control of my 
cameras, nothing is set to auto (other than WB)  and I do not seem to suffer 
for that....

I'm sure you are a photographer who is always in control of every exposure, 
but I'm not.  I had just come in from extremely bright sun and was sitting 
on a carpet in the dark where I could not move, talking to people I had 
never met in a language I could not understand.  I've done all of that many 
times but I also had a new camera with automatic settings that I depended 
on.  I had the Auto ISO set and it stayed at 50.  When I realized that, I 
changed it to a higher ISO.  All of the first photos are made at 50 ISO and 
I was hoping to rescue them some way.  I'm not too disappointed in the 
results I got considering the circumstances.
