Nice video that confirms my thoughts, and everyone enjoys a bit of confirmation bias. The key is exposure compensation, as you say. You could possibly add this data to the shots displayed?
Hey David, thanks for the comments. Whenever I use AUTO ISO, exposure compensation is the key to a avoid clipping the highlights, the histogram will tell you this. For me the histogram tells you more than the exposure meter. Stay Safe.
@@StephenJoines, yeah, I didn't make that clear. Also, when I said about adding data I meant within your video. What exposure compensation was used in the shots you put up in the video, if any? Cheers!
@@davidcrighton3431 Hey David, Good point - I will in future put more details of settings etc in future videos. I don't want to clog the image up but any suggestions would be great.
Hi Steve hope you're well. Great explanation of auto ISO to be honest I've never used it, probably a distant memory back my film days when you couldn't change the ISO so I don't even think setting it on the camera these days. I'll defo have to give it a try, i'll have to dig out the instuction manual of the D810 to find out how to set it. I think the M50 is fairly good at hi ISO, but would be insteresting to see how you find it. Great set of images, I love the photo of the pier works great from higher up. Best wishes stay safe Jon & Karen
Hey Jon. hope you both are well. Luckily for me the settings for the M50 is the same as my other cameras (all canon). I am sure it will be similar for the Nikon. On M50, in your menu go to the Camera settings (red menu), Number 2 and you will see ISO Speed settings. select ISO Auto and set accordingly. As you say the M50 is good with higher ISO so I will test it out and find its no go area. at the moment I set it to 6400. Stay Safe.
Yes! With Street you doing a lot handheld. So auto ISO is great as it will keep your shutter speed up to around or over 1/40th. But, as I said keep an eye on the ISO it uses or it can increase noise. Stay Safe.
For street photography in good light I use Aperture mode in conjunction with auto ISO. The ISO is usually at base anyway and speed takes care of itself. I'd use manual mode in low light with auto ISO but you have to check for over or under exposure in case you exceed either end of the ISO range.

The ISO is one setting I change all the time when doing street. So, would you say it is better using auto iso for this? Nice images too.
