On my camera "P" ("Program") mode allows the ISO to be fixed, and the camera calculates aperture and shutter-speed only. |
I have to look up the details but when I read them it didn't seem awful...it's NOT auto |

I do, but the 1D lets me limit the ranges of any setting, so I can control min shutter/max shutter - max ISO - min/max aperture, etc.
Or, I should say, I do whenever I actually shoot. Generally, having the ability to set the min/max is WAY better than just auto, at least if you know what you're up to anyway. |

That was an incredible discovery. I'm thinking about setting up a bunch of presets. I just brought my daughter for an animal adventure with red pandas and sloths. I set the auto ISO with a maximum range and aperture priority wasn't doing it because of animal movement, so I changed it to shutter priority. But I was thinking I could have had a preset to aperture priority, a specific shutter minimum and the the auto ISO with a max setting. Then I could have achieved the shallow depth of field I wanted, minimized the movement blur, etc.
Neat options! |

I recently upgraded the firmware in my Nikon D810, which unbeknown to me, resets everything to factory standards. I caught the JPEG Fine setting and switch it back to RAW. I did miss the fact that AutoISO (yes I know it's in the little LCD window and all) and went happily shooting. Nighttime at Bodie, California, I was perplexed why all my images were previewing totally black, with minimal detail regardless of where I set ISO. I was at 12800 when I realized AutoISO was on. Quick reset and I was done.
The attached image is unedited, shot at ISO 12800 at 9:36 pm. Nikon D810, Sigma 24 mm f/1.4 30 sec exposure |

Ditto.
