Just getting a feel for this......... How many of you seasoned pros shoot in manual mode with auto ISO???? And,,,,,,if so, are results successful? If indoors, do you use flash in manual mode with auto ISO and get desired results?
Using manual mode is just like in the good old day, and combining it with auto ISO that gives me more confident to shoot in any situation. I am not a pro, never will be and not even close, but I love to shoot like the old day. I always have great result! In door, I use only auto/manual flash with manual set ISO, I don't use TTL because I don't want to pay the high price of 'TTL" flash unit.

Alan, since you mention flash, on Canon cameras if you are using Auto ISO and you install a flash(I just assume also if you pop it up), the camera will default to ISO 400(and will stay there) and will not work in Auto ISO mode until the flash is removed(or possibly turned off)....
Using flash with the Nikon D810, the ISO varies.
Haven't shot any real events with it, just walking around the building shooting and chimping.
Seems to work ok so far.
Alan- what didn't you like about Auto ISO and flash?

My favorite is Rosita's Place in Phoenix. Second is Los Olivos near downtown Scottsdale. Both are somewhat fixtures and have been in business for generations.

I use it at night indoors and outdoors where I want to come to control the dof and have to hand hold and the shots are changing. I just set the max ISO for what my camera can handle.

I offer a cautionary tale. Last spring I rented a Sony RX1rii and shot manual with auto iso the whole time. Not being familiar with Sony's menu system, I did not realize that the camera has a DEFAULT maximum iso in auto mode. As a result, I thought something had gone wrong with the camera when I tried to make some landscape astrophotography images. I thought something had gone wrong with the camera because I knew the camera capable of useful iso over 25000. It turns out, the problem was that default maximum, of which I was unfamiliar. It turns out, it is easy to up the maximum to over 100k if desired. I admit that the fault was mine, and my lack of knowledge of Sony's menu system. I'll know next time.

In film days we only had manual, so that's what I learned on and use most of the time. Im just more comfortable with it.
Many film cameras had autoexposure options, even dating to the 1960s, but in 1983 with the Nikon FA, we had a film camera that could shoot in manual, aperture priority, shutter priority and program modes. It was also the first camera to use matrix metering. All of these features trickled down to later Nikon models, including the ones used today. I gave my FA to my son in law a couple of years ago, still in perfect working condition, and he loves it and uses it to shoot film regularly. It is manual focus, of course, not a drawback if you're shooting mostly static subjects. Film, of course, is manufactured at a set ISO (ASA as someone pointed out) but back in the day, you could process some films to give decent results at higher ISO.
