5DMkII Auto ISO Question.

[SealBeard]

Afternoon everyone,

Just wondering if anyone could help me out, I have read that a lot of people (especially in sports) when they know a specific aperture and shutter speed they require, often leave the iso on auto in manual mode and dial in the other settings.

The thing I cant work out, and yes I have had a read of the manual - is from what I can make out, when putting the auto iso setting on, it just locks it at 400... and then does not adjust to the scene... Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Hmmm strange.... maybe I'v got the wrong end of the stick at some point then

1d mk 2 can lock shutter and aperture and then adjust the Iso to compensate AFAIK, but I think its a personal custom function rather than one of the 'normal' custom functions.
