SS. If you select [ISO AUTO] when the shooting mode is P (Program Auto) or A (Aperture Priority), you can set the shutter speed at which the ISO sensitivity starts changing. This function is effective for shooting moving subjects. You can minimize subject blurring while also preventing camera shake.
What does ISO Auto mean?
The Auto ISO feature tells the camera to change the exposure based on the changing light. As the light in the scene dims, the shutter speed will drop to let in more light, to ensure a correct exposure. When it hits the “minimum” shutter speed that was set, the ISO increases to keep the exposure correct.
Should I set my camera to Auto ISO?
Should You Use Auto ISO? Absolutely, you should! As you have probably gathered, Auto ISO is a great feature that’s useful in situations where the light is changing rapidly or you don’t have time to adjust your settings in fast-paced situations.
What is ISO minimum?
As discussed above, you should always try to stick to the lowest ISO (base ISO) of your camera, which is typically ISO 100 or 200, whenever you can. If there is plenty of light, you are free to use a low ISO and minimize the appearance of noise as much as possible.
What shutter speed is best for portraits?
1/200th of a second
However, for most traditional portraits, it is best to use a fast shutter speed so that you can capture the moment without any blur. A typical portrait during the daytime without using flash is best taken with a shutter speed of at least 1/200th of a second handheld or 1/15th of a second on a tripod.
Is Auto ISO better than manual?
Shutter and Aperture Priority modes allow you to set the shutter/aperture with a set ISO, while Auto ISO with Manual Mode allows you to set both the shutter speed AND aperture and lets the camera set the ISO to make a correct exposure (within ISO limits that you choose).
What is the best ISO setting?
How to Determine the Best ISO Settings
- ISO 100-200: Best for bright daylight.
- ISO 200-400: Slightly less ambient light, such as indoors during the daytime or outdoors in the shade.
- ISO 400-800: Indoors, with a flash.
- ISO 800-1600: Low light indoors or at night when you can’t use a flash.

Why is my auto ISO so high?
As long as you’ve set your maximum ISO and your minimum shutter speed, your camera can adjust the ISO, as well as the shutter speed, to ensure the image is neither too bright or too dark. When you reach the minimum shutter speed that you’ve set, the camera will push the ISO higher.
What is the best ISO setting for low light?
Increase ISO Settings
A lower ISO will produce sharper images, and the higher the ISO, the more image noise (grain) will be present. For low light photography, try setting your ISO to 800 and adjust accordingly.
What ISO is too high?
A high ISO value (e.g. 800, 1600 or higher) means a high sensitivity to light. This helps in low-light situations where you need the camera to capture more light for a better-exposed image.
How do I know which aperture is sharpest?
Find the Lens’ Sweet Spot
The sharpest aperture is when the overall image is at its sharpest. The sharpest aperture of your lens, known as the sweet spot, is located two to three f/stops from the widest aperture. Therefore, the sharpest aperture on my 16-35mm f/4 is between f/8 and f/11.
What ISO is best for night shots?
Setting the ISO speed
For most full-frame cameras, ISO 3200 or 6400 are great for night photography. For most crop-sensor cameras, ISO 1600-3200 are great if it’s a relatively new camera, or ISO 1600 if it’s a much older camera.
What is the best ISO for portraits?

Should I Use Auto ISO Flash?
No Manual flash can react to Auto ISO changing. All camera models using Auto ISO always remain at Minimum ISO if a Manual flash is detected present (but remote flashes are not detected). Auto ISO must be Off with Manual flash, else we see surprises of flash exposure changing with ISO.
What does ISO mean on Sony camera?
sensitivity
ISO. ISO determines the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light. A higher ISO number increases the sensitivity; this means that less light is needed to produce a correct exposure. A lower ISO number decreases the sensitivity and requires more light to produce a correct exposure.
