The Mrs. and I were there to simply shoot video but the photographer and her assistant got held up at the getting ready location for the bride and her court. My better half called me from the same location as I had already left to go setup video cameras at the ceremony location. The photographer asked if I could snap a few detail shoots as she was not going to have time as the bride was running late ... the usual ....
So I zipped through the setup and then snapped a few photos as I was capturing some glide-cam stuff on video.
Shot with my new camera ... a7 III and the standard 24-105 f/4 Sony lens.
I just noticed ... must of had the ISO set to 800 and not auto, was in a hurry but 800 on this camera is no big deal.

Just wanted to let you know that your photos really do give me GAS.
Now, I just want to throw this out here, because it's something I've been wondering.
I seem to be doing this more and more instead of less and less, but I'm finding myself ignoring ISO unless I catch it. I set it early, and then just deal with the SS or A, and never even think of switching the ISO. When I first switched from film to digital, I did it, and it was catastrophic, because of the poor ISO performance. I think I'm starting to get lazy and just not dealing with it any more.
Do you find yourself getting really comfortable with the camera's performance, and feel like you're losing your edge on keeping on top of all 3 legs of the triangle? I do feel that I lose some of the control, by leaving out the importance of changing the ISO.
Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I think the performance of today's cameras are making me lazy. My wife would agree, but would say it has nothing to do with cameras. HAHA

When you are shooting manual I use auto ISO, set my shutter and aperture, arrive at a center point ob the exposure than adjust the ISO as sort of a EC when in manual mode.
Sometimes I want to control both the SS and the AV but if I have lots of back light I need to increase the ISO to get the shot the way I want ;)
If your get GAS take some Tums ....

Yeah, I know I should take advantage of auto ISO for just such situations, but just like my couple of attempts with TTL flash, I've had the technology fail on me, so I don't trust it. Of course, the tech has come a long way since the D-70, but I am one of those people who just can't get myself to even try it.
What I should do is mess with it more on non weddings, but honestly, I use my cell phone mostly for non important shoots. I know, I know, cell phones. ugh.
