Watch out for that AUTO ISO setting (Page 6): Ok will do. Travelling now but when I get back, i will send you some night football shots with the associated info and we can discuss.

Try using the Luminosity process in the Lightroom raw editor to remove the noise. It does a great job...

I believe OP knows how to remove noise; the purpose of this thread was to avoid having to do that extra work of removing noise that wouldn't be there if the OP'd had the intended settings.

We all can use the reminder to periodically look at what the camera is saying - do we see expected settings, or did something get moved by accident??

Depending on your camera, you can probably take out some insurance against this problem by setting reasonable limits on the choices available for auto-ISO. I have mine set to choose values between 100 and 800, for example. If I accidentally take some pictures with auto-ISO, they will not have much noise within these limits.

But so far as the existing images are concerned, you might get a copy of Topaz DeNoise. It's by far the best tool I've found for removing noise. You can download a trial of it to see how it works for you. Hint: when making adjustments to blue or red, turn on the blue or red filter. When adjusting shadow or highlight noise, use the luma filter.

All the pictures the wedding photographer passed on to my G. Daughter were JPEGs. I'm guessing she wouldn't give up the raw files. My G.D. is happy with what she got, but shouldn't be: Larry

That is all that matters. If she is happy, you should be happy for her.

If you are not happy, how come you didn’t find a pro to shoot the wedding that you would have been happy with?

Thumper! What did your Daddy tell you? " If you can't say something nice------"

It was a legitimate statement. Or are you saying that about your own post?

You should be happy that your GD is happy. What kind of a person would say: “she shouldn’t be”

That was for me too. I didn't say a word to her about the boo boo.

Wedding pictures are normally for the bride.

I've been fortunate, ISO hasn't jumped off fixed so far.

Yes, Those are Terrible experiences indeed, although I have also read many positive comments about the use of "Auto-ISO", under necessary circumstances. If used, it must be for the reason, "A bad photo or NO Photo."

I have to disagree with your last sentence. Auto ISO can be a great option in some shooting scenarios. It's only when the camera is forced to go to very high ISOs (light too low for your selected shutter speed and aperture) that you may face the bad shot/no shot decision.

I agree, the "PHOTO or NO PHOTO, should be my last possible choice, and only in very dire circumstances.

Part of learning about your camera is being familiar with how it handles higher ISO values, so you clearly know what trade-offs you're making when you make them.
