Yeah, and what happens if your ISO is say 400 and then you take a shot in a shaded area? I'll tell you what happens, the same thing that the OP is complaining about. The aperture goes wide open and then your picture is underexposed by a lot. I can see using auto ISO but I'm not a fan because you can't use compensation when using Auto ISO. Also when you use Auto ISO it could go really high and give you a lot of noise. My way, at least you have a chance of getting a properly exposed image; if you are steady and the animal isn't moving a lot, some of the images will be sharp - maybe not all, but some will be.

You can set an upper limit on your Auto ISO so you won't get more noise than you expect.

Before changing to S mode, try the P mode, see the ISO, shutter time and aperture values, then at least you have an idea to set your shutter time once you change to S mode. Remember you only can change the shutter time and ISO to make good shots, aperture changes itself accordingly. I normally use this mode to shoot while in a moving car. To control both time and aperture, you have to choose the manual (M) mode. Good luck.

I do not mean to be rude but you have to learn how to use your camera. Shutter priority has the advantage as an AUTO mode of allowing to set the shutter speed you prefer, like when shooting sports or wildlife. It works very well with the ISO speed of the camera and will vary the aperture to fit the shutter speed that you have selected. When it cannot select the aperture it is time to play with the ISO setting.


Yes, I completely agree!
And before you mess around more with your camera I'd suggest you go to Google and search for "exposure triangle"
