Auto Iso and Minimum Shutter Speed

Post by SimonHolden » Tue Apr 12, 2016 2:30 am

In the manual for the D7200 there is the ability to set the maximum ISO, and the minimum shutter speed.

In digicam control you can set Auto Iso to ON, and set the ISO Auto High Limit, but not the minimum shutter speed. It would be great to be able to set the minimum shutter speed.

Here is the excerpt from the manual:

"The maximum value for ISO sensitivity can be selected using Maximum sensitivity (note that if the ISO sensitivity selected by the user is higher than that chosen for the Maximum sensitivity, the value selected by the user will be used instead. In modes P and A, the sensitivity will only be adjusted if the underexposure would result at the shutter speed selected for Minimum shutter speed (1/4000 to 30s, or Auto; in modes S and M, ISO sensitivity will be adjusted for optimal exposure at the shutter speed selected by the user). If AUTO is selected, the camera will choose the minimum shutter speed based on the focal length of the lens."

It would also be good to group these settings in the same area, as currently Auto Iso is quite detached from ISO Auto High Limit.

We'd like to set the cameras on Aperture Priority, to keep a relatively high aperture, as we have a great background, and foreground that wants to be in focus, but are shooting action, so need to keep the shutter speed above a minimum. Having this feature enabled will be a great help, as we're currently having to use Manual mode to ensure a minimum shutter speed, and minimum aperture. It means on days where the light changes consistently, it's a real task to keep up with the settings on the 4 remote cameras.

We don't want to shoot in shutter priority, as the aperture of the lenses can go down to 2.8, which means we loose the high depth of field we want....
