But - YOU had indicated … there was NO ISO reading in the VF, Elmer … and I wrote they ALL do …
Yes there is no ISO reading in the viewfinder!
If you have it in default mode=frame count and press the ISO button on the left side, it shows auto ISO and ISO 100...not the actual value! To show the actual value you have to set it up in the custom menu!
Maybe YOU have a special order D7100?
LOL

Yeah, they're there. It's just more noticeable in download.
Can’t see the lines at all on my iPad, except on the download...hmmm

Elmer … I don't NEED to … already done … I have no need for a frame count … I can get that when I check for battery level left … it's not a necessary part of everyday shooting … when you're outta space, the thing jumps to the next card, anyway … and, when I realize it's done that - I order a new card … thereyago!!!
So it works even if you don’t have a “special order camera”...
Told you so..LOL

Strange...the lines are only there if you download the picture. I have no idea what’s the problem.

It does show the set ISO but for a short period of time so that you can see it or change it and then it's gone. There are a lot of things you can set up to be seen in the view finder but I don't know if ISO is one of them, I'll have to check.
See my earlier post.😊

I think you are moving the camera out of focus when you lift it up to your eyes. Using live view to focus works best if you use a tripod.

Try it!!!!! ….

If you set it the way I told you you don’t have to press the ISO button....it is shown in the viewfinder ALL THE TIME! Why don’t YOU try it?

Well, my camera Nikon D7100 did not show ISO value in the viewfinder. I had to set in in the menu under custom setting d “ Shooting display” d3 (ISO display and adjustment.
So now you know at least one camera that is different!😊
So your ISO doesn’t change with auto ISO? Then I guess you have to send it in for repair. Mine changes instantly if the light changes!
As I said earlier, using EC is very rarely needed...it is easy to adjust exposure in post processing.
It is however good to know how to use it. Any experienced photographer can do it without taking the camera down from his eyes!

It is "Full Manual" because you are selecting "Manual mode" with shutter speed and aperture locked in. Exposure comp can override auto ISO... so you are in full control in a way.
That's the advantage, only one override function to adjust in changing conditions.

You got that right catchlite!
Full manual mode , to me, means manual focus, no distortion control, no noise reduction etc. or ANY automatic functions chosen.
How many “purists” shoot like that?
If you set your camera to “M” it is called manual mode in all instructions I have read!

Personally I can’t see any reason to not use M+auto ISO.
It gives me full control over everything..aperture (DOF), shutter speed ( motion blur), ISO ( you control ISO by adjusting aperture and/or shutter speed)
If the exposure is not where you want it to be you use EC + or -, which will adjust ISO up or down!
If you set ISO to be shown in the viewfinder instead of the default picture count, you never have to take the camera down from your eyes!
Isn’t that the easiest way?

I knew of that possibility but haven't used it. There's something about delving into menus that I don't care for. Give me a few dials to adjust and I'm happy

.I can’t remember if I ever used EC....
Is it a big deal to go to the menu in the very rare occasions you might need it?
😊Why not get a “better” camera, like the D7100? (Just kidding)

Why not shoot in M. Set your aperture for DOF and set the shutter speed for your shaky hands (I'm sure you know how high it must be in order to keep the picture still) and then use Auto ISO. The only thing that will change is the ISO and you'll get pictures that are the proper DOF, and high enough shutter to keep them still.
👍👍👍

Wrong!
It works the same way....if there is enough lite it will adjust the aperture smaller. If there is NOT enough light it will set the largest aperture and adjust ISO up to the limit you have set. Still not enough lite then you will see the exposure indicator go negative, which will tell you to chose a longer shutter time.

That's what I do with my D5300. It's a bit of a nuisance to set EC on the Information Screen but it's not too bad. Of course, you have to remember to reset it when you no longer need it!
That’s how you do it!
I was really surprised that some said that they couldn’t use EC in M+auto ISO,
The instruction manual is your friend!

EC "works" by changing the meter readout on any camera.
It's only in one of the three Auto modes that it affects the recorded image.

You are wrong..in M+auto ISO you can use EC and it will change the ISO.
Try it if you don’t believe me!😊
