Here's the scenario - you take delivery of a new DSLR, and not wanting to have to fiddle about with settings - you decide to set it on AUTO ISO and just go out and shoot, to get a feel for your new toy, before you get into all of the elaborate settings, and the whys and wherefores.

So, exactly what does the camera know - you don't? … Do you know what I mean? … Maybe, the electronics of your new toy - are sophisticated enough - to impose a high ISO without YOU trying to rein it in, and to do so - well.
