    Great advice and a great note to self, as I've been guilty of keeping my ISO as long as I can remember coming from a landscape photography background.
    It's just quite recently that I started to use higher ISO settings since I got my X-H2S. And it's such a relief.

    Excellent advice. I'm actually shooting a wedding later today for some friends, and I will be shooting at at least 400 ISO maybe 800 iso in order to maximize the battery life on my flashes and lighten up the interior of the dim Church they're in. I have no worries about noise or IQ at anything under iso 1600 for formals, and I will go up to 6400 for reception shots with a modern camera. (And that may go higher after I test what's happening now with DXO.) Now my landscape are 99% at ISO 125 or less depending on the camera... 🙂

      Yes, you don't need to up your ISO for the majority of landscapes... But, coming from more of a film/TV background, our base ISOs we're usually around 800 so I wasn't aware this was a problem for some people until recently. Although, even I was surprised at the lack of noise on the X-T5 as you turned the dial up. By the way, that dog was taken on the 10-24mm lens, completely unsharpened, that I've heard some people are having a problem with... But it seemed really sharp to me.

      @@SteveMellorPhotography Yes, I tested my 10-24mm the other day and it was sharp out to the corners using DXO. Not as good as my 16-55, but still excellent. The 16-55 is sharp at 200% and loses it in the extreme corners and the 10-24 is sharp out to the corners at 100% and not as good at 200%. I guess it's just the luck of the draw, combined with sample variation for the 10-24mm.

    Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling with blurry images because of ''low'' speed, I shoot sports and im always scared of setting a high ISO. Sending love from Brazil!

    Thanks for this. I just watched your 'birds-in-flight' settings video. This tip helps too: We have 3 auto ISO settings where we can also set a minimum shutter speed and min/max ISO. My 3rd setting has min. 500/s shutter speed and ISO upper range at 3200.
    We have 3 auto settings to use. I use #1 for street photography and the like with fairly low max ISO.
