When shooting a burst in M with Auto ISO, my Z 9 keeps the exposure even if the subject moves from dark to light. Is there a setting that I need to adjust?
at 20 FPS Z 9 locks exposure

Possible that you hit exposure lock ???
don't think so. Happened many times (every time). As soon as I lifted my finger off the shutter button, exposure was resetPossible that you hit exposure lock ???

Just a crazy thought on my part, a/e lock is located directly below bbf. However would also lock focus

Is your viewfinder adjusted for "ease of viewing" if yes change it to "Show effects of settings" - custom option d9
also try to double check the iso of the pictures files if there is changes when you go from light to dark during the burst to be sure if it is just visual issue.

button below BBF, is the joystick which is set to reset (focus point to center of the screen). AFAIK the don;t have any button set to AE/L. Thanks for the suggesiton
saw this effect when editting images so not just a viewfinder issue (but I will check). I'll check ISO. ISO seems to lack behind the exposure. I know that there is a focus tracking "lag", could there be an exposure change lag?

What is C1 set to (Shutter Release/AE Lock)? It sounds like it is set to “On (burst mode). Exposure is locked on a burst with the shutter depressed.
And kudos to Thom Hogan’s Z9 book. That was the reference I used.

THAT IS IT. Burst mode ON. BIG THANKS
Glad that was it Rich. I have C1 set to OFF on my Z9.
The latest firmware may have changed this setting. Its now custom setting d10 " View Mode (photo Lv)"
Thanks Doug, I changed my setting to off also. Maybe I should get Thom's book also.
