I stand corrected to my post to Armando. In auto iso mode, if you use the fn button to access iso... You can change the base iso but it's still auto iso.
Seriously, you all. Don't you think there has to be a hardware/software reason that there are two different methods of being able to change the ISO via the EVF and the OVF? As I said, I am quite happy that I can now leave it in Auto ISO and easily change the ISO if I feel the need.
Streetshooter said:Ok, here's how I do it. I'm posting because I have a few request to explain how I use the camera.
Auto ISO.... 200-3200. 1/30 low speed.
A mode.. Choose fstop according to DOF needs.
Silent mode.
MF mode. Focuses from about 4" to infinity faster even in low light.
The AEL/AF button on the rear right to focus the camera.
Any questions please post below...
And speaking of Auto ISO, I have a question - Since the X100 operates so well at high ISOs I have begun to use auto ISO too. However, I notice the camera will often shoot below my set slowest shutter speed. Any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong?
Don, I was testing the inflatable soft box for flash with my EF-20 this morning. It does works very well. Thanks for the eBay link. However, during the test shots I took of my wife I got camera motion because the shutter speed that it was shooting at was lower than the one I set. Hmmm. Regardless here's the test grab shot;

In the old firmware (not sure if the new firmware changed this or not), each PASM mode has its own base ISO. So you can set it at 200 in Aperture priority, but it may be 800 under Shutter priority. Consequently, if you want the same base ISO on all PASM modes, it was necessary to go one particular PASM mode, set your base ISO, then go to the next PASM mode, and set base ISO again, and so on and so on ...
8. Macro mode ISO sensitivity, Drive mode, Dynamic range, Self-timer mode, flash mode is maintained even if shutter speed setting or aperture setting is changed. Also, even after changing viewing mode into shooting mode or turning of the camera, these values are maintained.
