At the time, I had only been using Auto ISO in Manual Mode for a couple of weeks. I’ve discovered a problem with it. My camera seemed to be focusing a lot slower. I was using it for bird photography, specifically for flying birds. I was getting frustrated because the camera seemed to be taking a long time to lock focus a lot of the time. I was thinking perhaps there was something wrong with my lens, or something else had gone wrong in the camera. Then I thought about it a bit more and realized that it must be the Auto ISO. In allowing the camera to choose the best ISO while I was tracking a bird across scenes with different contrast and brightness levels, I was giving it too much to think about. This was slowing down the time it took to lock focus. I was missing a lot of good shots. Now, this may be a problem specific to my camera. It may just be that the processing power of the D5200 is just not enough to handle focusing and Auto ISO at the same time? I am interested to find out if you are experiencing this problem too, so please leave a comment below the video if you have noticed any change in how your camera focuses while using Auto ISO. Auto ISO in Manual Mode is a wonderful thing, however, it may cause your camera to focus slower. Just keep this in mind when using auto ISO for bird photography or wildlife photography. *Video chapters:* 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - Meet me 01:01 - Recap from previous video 02:02 - Good things about Auto ISO in Manual Mode 02:17 - The Worst thing about Auto ISO in Manual Mode 03:45 - Auto ISO sensitivity settings Nikon D5200 04:59 - Exposure compensation 06:23 - The wrap up Thank you for watching this DSLR photography tutorial today. *Until the next time I release a video, you can find me here:* *Websites* - https://photographersfreedom.com https://barrycallisterphotography.com.au *Facebook* - https://www.facebook.com/photographersfreedom https://www.facebook.com/barrycallisterphotography/ *Instagram* - https://www.instagram.com/barrycallisterphotography/ *My print-on-demand products on Redbubble* - https://www.redbubble.com/people/barrycallister/shop *Redbubble Photographer's Freedom Merch* - https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/67397299 #photographersfreedom #photographytutorial #autoiso #manualmode #nikond5200 #nikonphotography #nikondslr DISCLAIMER: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
