AUTO ISO - Nikon
Apr 20, 2015 10:08:16 #
On my new D750 there is this AUTO ISO setting that is driving me nuts at the moment.
I looked at NIKON's online info on this setting, but from what they write, I can not find it in the menu(s). It looks like the camera does not have it, but in my little window on top, it constantly says "ISO AUTO" as it does it's own little thingie.. . . so I must have it.
WHERE do I go to set/reset this?

I believe that a couple of buttons can be designated for certain functions. The AF/AE button can become the Auto ISO button if set up correctly. One of the buttons on the front (review?) can also become an assigned funtion button. Check it out.

Yes, this is the correct place to find this item using the menu system. But, there are 3 full screens of selections on the "Shooting Menu" to sort through.
The fastest way I know to change your ISO setting is to press (and hold) the button on the back of your camera marked ISO. Your view screen should become active. It will show the current setting. You can turn Auto ISO on and off with the front command dial, and you can adjust the sensitivity with the rear command dial.

Look at the buttons on the back of the camera body. Press the "ISO" button and rotate the command dial to get the ISO rating you desire.

Disregard - Got mixed up with AF-ON. One of those senior moments.

Sorry to say, but that does not address the question.

And yes, THAT is what I was looking for, LOL! (I just did not understand MT Shooter's post)
Thanks a bunch!

But what you really want is the ISO sensitivity menu where you configure AutoISO, not just to turn it on and off.
To really see it in action, choose Manual Exposure and AutoISO. Set the minimum ISO to 100 and the maximum to 6400 or 12800. Then you can choose shutter speed and aperture for effect, and the camera will set the ISO give make the exposure you have selected correct.
This is not always the best configuration, but in general it is the most versatile configuration.

Yep. This is the fastest way to do it. The front command dial will toggle the Auto ISO on and off while holding the ISO button on the back of the camera. On my D750 I usually shoot in Aperature priority and have the rear command dial set to adjust Aperature and the front command dial set to adjust ISO.

Well how cool is that! I love shooting manual.
THANKS for explaining this to me. :P

So (changing the subject a bit) what are the ultra low ISO settings for. . I mean, why are they not just a number like 32 or 64 like slow films in days of yore were rated?

Learning all the bell's and whistles, on a new toy is always fun, but trying at times.

In your shooting menu.. find ISO Sensitivity. this is where you set you ISO. also on that screen it should say Auto sensitivity control. this is either on or off... set it to off and it should turn off the auto ISO. Think that is where this is on your camera. Can't hurt to look. that is where it is on my camera but I have a D600. It is also the same on my D300s and my D 5100. I don't think Nikon gets real creative about this on their menu's. good luck... happy shooting :)

It's just physics. The basic sensitivity of CCD and CMOS electronic sensors is between ISO 100 and ISO 300. There is an amplifier that provides higher ISO sensitivity. Getting lower than the basic ISO of the sensor has been the hard part.
Film was originally very very low sensitivity, and it took decades of research to figure out ways to make it more sensitive.
