I use Aperture Priority mode with Auto ISO and Nikons Easy EC for wildlife, flying birds and using Auto ISO with it certainly makes sense to me.
I have to have a fast shutter speed. When it falls too slow I get less keepers. For best results at 500mm I want my shutter speed set at least 1/1250 if possible so..... I set Minimum Shutter Speed in Auto ISO setup to 1/1250 and I set the Auto ISO maximum to perhaps 1500 on a sunny day.
Now when I track that Eagle carry yo mama across the sky my iso will go up to 1500 before my shutter speed will start dropping below my ideal setting of 1/1250.
Nikons Easy EC feature programs the main rear button for EC. I know my equipment and I know I need to set EC+ when photographing something dark against a bright background so a flick from my thumb takes care of it.
I use the Aperture setting for DOF depending on the lighting and the size & distance of that eagle carrying yo mama.
The exposure will be the same for all the photos in the series. When I post process them I process the whole series at once then tweak the settings on those which I decide are keepers.

Yes it would! Have you not heard of subject failure? That is when the subject you are shooting is not near an 18% grey card in reflected illumination. Here is an example. Note that almost everything in the image needs to be dark. (Yes, that is Rex Allen Jr.)
Great example!

Did you mean EC? You always use EV (Exposure Value).
EV is a combination of aperture and shutter speed. That's a whole different subject. For example, f/11 @ 1/60 sec is an EV of 13 for any ISO, film or digital.

Excuse my brain fart. I'm sorry but changing the subject to try to make someone sound less knowledgeable only makes you sound more trolley.

.......... It should be clear to you now that I did not say we did not use it at all, just that we did not need to use it to get a proper exposure............
Of course you sometimes NEED to use EC with Auto ISO for proper exposure or while you are fiddling with your camera you can miss your shot. You must never swing and shoot.

It appears as though I cannot add EC when using auto ISO on my Panasonic.
I can on my Nikons.
I can on my Nikons.
I wouldn't like a Panasonic then. I routinely use auto iso on my Nikon for fast moving wildlife and bump up the EC to compensate for a bright background that normally would cause the subject to be under exposed.

Wow, talk about insults. I see you are a pro, an insult pro. At least you do agree now that "auto-anything" can be very useful in certain situations. In case you forgot this is what you previously wrote.

lol, then "several of you" don't know when and how to utilize "auto-anything". You suggesting that using "auto-anything" is a crutch that pros don't have to use is pure nonsense!

Is not your goal to find things to complain about? Wake up.
I read his reply and thought about the fact that I came here for photography and was pleasantly surprised with Jerry's post. Way cool video. Something I would have never took time to find on my own.
If we just ignore the troll's responses like his/hers then they will go away. We make it fun for them when we complain about the fact that they're complaining.
Cheers, and keep shooting,

lol!! So then I guess I should have thanked him for giving me something to complain about. Thank you for pointing that out. I did feel better.

Wrong, setting EC will still vary the exposure. I use EC with auto ISO all of the time when the subject is shaded, too dark, and the background is very bright to give the needed light to the subject. Sometimes blowing out pieces of the background slightly is a necessary evil.
You need to learn how to use a camera before you give advice!

It's messages like yours who are disgusting. This thread is in the "General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk)" section where it belongs. Unsubcribe to it http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-7-1.html or better yet find another site to complain at.

Check out the Tokina 11-20 mm f/2.8. It got great reviews and is less expensive and allegedly better built than the Nikkor 10-24. I use it on both my D7100 and D810. On the latter it works fine from 16-20 mm.
I agree! I use it with a d500 and d750. The full frame works fine from 16mm--20mm and did I mention it was lightweight too!Apr 25, 2017 10:17:33 #

Sometimes my 18 to 300 lens at 18 just is not wide enough. Do I need a different lens?
Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX, nice lens, great for low light, lightweight. I have a d500 too and got it to use with its 4k video which crops an additional 1.5x.

Thanks I'll try with the dark color
Also experiment with light with the long exposures. Example: Walk into frame and quickly turn a flashlight on/off pointed up at your chin.
