just finished the "Nikon Exposure" book from Steve, And moving to the "Nikon Auto Focus" book. Guys, BUY HIS BOOKS! With a minimal price you get so much information in there that your head will spin. Along with many myth busting...
Steve Perry I stopped counting the “A-Ha” moments after I passed 20 :) By the way: Is it possible to send you a few clarification questions on some of the metering explanations?
Your tutorials are the greatest I have ever watched. I keep coming back to them whenever I need to refresh my memory. So many things make your tutorials so good! Here's just a few of the things I love: Your ability to explain complex topics in an easy-to-understand way with simple language. The simple yet beautiful illustrations as you explain things. The way you show the camera's menu, explain the settings and what they do. Keeping the narration straight and to the point, without a ton of "filler talk" that is so common among others. Thank you for all your tutorials, tips and tricks!!! 🙏
Today my wife asked me to photograph a “Century ride” for her dressage club. It’s when a rider and horse combined age is 100 years. A pretty rare occurrence. I knew the barn was poorly lit by sun from one side, and today is overcast. So I wanted to be able to control the motion (shutter speed) so I set shutter priority on my D850, and I set the Auto ISO per this video. It worked really well. Thanks!
I've been using auto iso for 2 years now and love it! I can still manipulate the iso by adjusting my shutter or aperture if needed. Fantastic advice for everyone!
You can also manipulate auto-ISO in manual mode with exposure compensation without altering aperture or shutter speed at all. Exposure compensation, when used this way, will alter the zero point of your cameras meter from its standard 18% grey. Let's say you dial in two thirds of a stop of negative exp-comp, the zero point of your meter will now be two thirds of a stop below 18% grey and auto-ISO will continue to zero the meter as it always has, so you will get an image two thirds of a stop darker...very useful when you're shooting a small bright subject against a large dark background. This, of course, works the other way around too i.e. a dark subject against a bright background, just dial in positive exp-comp so that the meter zeros at a brighter value than 18% grey.
Thanks Steve! I've been using my D810 in Auto ISO for about a year now and have felt pretty comfortable with it. But as usual with your videos, I find I can always learn something extra.
Absolute best, most thorough, most clear explanation of the "flowchart" that the camera follows when applying ISO area to the various modes. THANK-YOU for clearing things up for me, finally!!!!
I can second Steves books, they are fantastic; full of lots of valuable information which he explains in a very clear way with his diagrams, photos and sense of humour. Great job Steve, the books are worth every penny.
Your videos are absolutely perfect. Clean delivery and a solid explanation of how the system works under Auto ISO. You are an excellent teacher and are providing wonderful service with this sort of clear explanation. Nikon should hire you to do a series of tutorial videos. Keep it up.
This is quite possibly the best instructional video I have ever watched! The narration and graphics make a somewhat complicated subject completely clear. I'll have to check out more of your vids.
I've read the book twice. No, I'm not a glutton for punishment. It's just that it's packed with so much helpful information, it takes more than one read to absorb it all. Manual with auto ISO has become one of my favorite modes for shooting action. Steve, thanks so much!
OMG I am less than 1/3 thru this video and you already taught me something I had no idea I could do on my D850: switch between normal ISO setting and Auto ISO using the ISO button with the front command dial. I had no idea! I had that in the "My Menu" set of options, but I just removed it after discovering I don't need it there using your tip. Geez....thank you! Oh, and I've used Auto ISO with great success for 8th graders as they pass between bright areas and shadow areas like your bird example, and for bees on flowers. Bees fly around of course, but they also jiggle as they crawl all over the flowers. I've found that a minimum of 320 shutter speed is needed, I still set the aperture under aperture priority, but let the ISO scream up (within limits) to make it all work.
The sliding sun from bright to dark is an excellent graphic. Thanks. Thanks also for the detail about when the camera goes below the minimum shutter speed and when it allows underexposure.
Thanks Steve. Another benefit of the Auto ISO when shooting in manual mode is that the camera can adjust the ISO increments in smaller / finer amounts than the equivalent f-stop/ shutter speed 1/3. E.g at times your image data will show an ISO of 110 used in the image - nowhere in any setting can one pick an ISO of 110 - so it definitely makes subtler adjustments
Yup, it goes in 1/6th stops :) However, if you're shooting RAW that type of granularity isn't critical - you can miss by a stop in many cases (and more on the underexposure side) and still pull out a perfect image.
I went manual + auto iso about a year ago. A suggestion from a different RUclips photographer (Morten Hilmer). Works great if you hike as light conditions can change so quickly in a forest. Great video! So informative!
I want to thankyou once again for turning me on to this. been using auto ISO in manual mode for about a year now, along with back button focus and will never look back.
Sir, thank you so much for MENTIONING "WHEN THE LIGHT GETS DARKER AND THE CAMERA HIT THE HIGHEST ISO N CAN'T EXPOSE IMAGE THEN THE SHUTTER SPEED WILL DROP BELOW THE SET SHUTTER SPEED TO GET A PERFECT EXPOSURE" Nobody on the youtube tutorial speaks about it and that's why i was going crazy over why the shutter still drops when i put in the minimum shutter speed..i was searching alot on youtube but nobody explained in this detail...I'm a nikon D5600 user and thought that my camera had problem..thank you sir for this tutorial!!💯🙏
Lots of info for me to grasp at ones. I will watch it over again.. I am a Nikon D7100 shooter and your two e-books were the best purchase I made to improve my photography. always look forward for your material. Thanks Steve.
Thank you so much Steve. I've tried this technique before but got scared off by it over exposing my shots. I have a D500 with a 200-500 F5.6. Trying to maintain a good exposure in difficult lighting conditions. Now with this video I'm dipping my toes in that water again and already my test shots are coming out better. I think I need to embrace higher iso's and allow the camera to do it's thing while I'm in manual when in low light. Furthermore I like your explanation regarding exposure comp and how you won't see the indicator. That offers some reassurance as I felt I was doing something wrong. Great work and thanks again. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
another masterpiece, Steve! I am from Georgia (Republic) far away from the USA :), your follower for years and have already bought all your books and they are worth every penny. keep going, Steve
I started using this technique in aperture priority mode, but mostly use it in manual mode so I can quickly adjust the shutter speed. Best of both worlds.
The most easy to understand and comprehensive explanation for these settings that I’ve found. Your ebooks are also awesome Steve, great work & thank you 😊🙏🏿
I stumbled onto using auto-iso in manual mode a year or two ago and love it! This video provides a very good tutorial for how the settings change in various exposure modes. Highly recommended, and I wish this video had come out 7 years ago when I first started (trying to rather unsuccessfully) shooting high school Cross Country anack and Field.
I second that! I've found that configuration to be perfect for me. Funny, it was even easier to implement and use on my Canon. Yep, Steve's a great teacher and photographer (and comedian).
I am more of an aperture priority, auto ISO, 1/125 minimum shutter, exposure compensation to expose to the right kind of guy, switching between evaluative and highlight* metering.
@@millerdp Yeah he is! i do offroading shoots but i also like to shoot animals for leisure in between, started watching Steve after purchasing a 500mm f4 about 2 years ago (i didnt know how to properly use it then)

Thanks so much for the video. I’ve been shooting Nikon for years but you always seem to find something that I’ve been messing up. Keep up the great work.
Steve I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I always keep my camera in auto iso but didn't know I could toggle it on and off with the front dial button. Thank you for another awesome video!!
enjoy your vids Steve - one thing you may want to add to the ISO vid, is how you can put the camera in Auto ISO and then alter it using the exposure compensation - I find this a handy trick (situation based of course) to underexpose a bit when shooting Auto ISO wildlife in the snow. fyi - I am only shooting in Manual exposure mode. not sure what models this works on - for sure D5, D850, and Z9. cheers
Thank You Steve, I have learned so much from you about photography and how to operate my Nikon cameras. D850 and D500. I have also bought all of your e-books and have learned so much more than what you can pack into a video, but, I love your videos so much that I hope you have the time to keep doing the videos too. I live in the Smoky Mountains, and look for you sometimes in Cades Cove, but like a big bear, haven't seen you yet.
Would love to meet you when you do come. You can contact me to see if our timing for a meeting or photo shoot is good. Thanks for the response. Ray@@backcountrygallery
I had seen your other video on Auto ISO and so understood the concept and have been using it for a while now (thanks much). However, I have to say that this is a really concise and well laid out video. You really have a gift for teaching,
FINALLY!! . . Finally I have found that one video I’ve been looking for. For some reason I managed to get myself tied up in knots over the ISO settings. Many thank for sharing. Much appreciated. 😊
So good to see your productions back again! Hope you enjoyed the break. Will definitely miss the videos (definitely my favorites!). Thanks again Steve.
NEVER HEARD OF YOU, I KNOW ALL ABOUT ISO...THANKS ANYWAY..THE BEST VIDEO YET THAT EXPLAINS ISO...TOP (THE BEST) RUclips CAMERA INSTRUCTORS, MY CHOICE…..ORDER IS RAMDOM…. DUSTIN ABBOTT, STEVE PERRY, GARY FRIEDMAN
I'm using auto-ISO with my D7000 since 2014 (I added 5he D500 now). But I thought "let's have a look, maybe I will learn something more". And thanks for the auto shutter speed in auto-ISO menu, I didn't knew that one. What's very cool is that on Dx body, it kind of takes into account the crop factor for the 1/Focal length thumb rule 👍🏻
Another fantastic video Steve. Sad to hear that you will doing less youtube content. Unfortunately youtube has changed us and most of us can't be bothered reading anymore.
It's not by choice - I just have too many workshops / trips coming up and it's easier to do articles than videos. I'm still going to try to get out as many as I can, especially for topics better explained by video - I have another video in the works at the moment :)
Definitely going to make the adjustments. I have had issues with sun and overcast ie sun constantly going in and out of the clouds. I get too dark or over exposed. I have always avoided Auto ISO. It's good to know that's its OK to use in certain situations. I certainly appreciate this video and tips.
Thanks Steve for a great video about auto ISO. Nikon should pay you for this video since they lack on just about every aspect of their in depth training videos like you produced. That said I've never used Auto ISO with my recently purchased D6 but I can see where this would come in handy and can't wait to give it a try. Changing the subject to the SB5000 and using it with a D6. When I use the SB5000 on my D6 and move it to my D4 it shows me a different setting. I typically set it to "BL" mode but on the D6 the flash shows "TTL/BL/FL" on the D4 it shows "TTL/BL" What does the "FL" stand for and how does it effect the flash output? Thanks for your help and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!
One of the reasons I upgraded to the D7100 from the D7000, is the ability to switch effortlessly between auto and manual ISO without resorting to menus. Simply by moving the sub-command dial while pressing ISO button.
I glad I figured out how to use this over the weekend on my d7500. Was at the local wildlife refuge and went from shade to bright Florida sun and I was finally able to get good bird picture. Thanks for all your tips.
Great video! Keep in mind that when you set te minimum SS to 500 like in the excample. There is stil a high chance you will get noisy pictures. A ss of 500 is pretty fast for indoor of dusk photography.

Wonderful wonderful video. So insightful!!! I say he is the best Nikon teacher out there.
Excellent explanation of a potentially confusing topic.
