I totally Agree!!It’s the best.Very nice Robin!
FWIW, I made that switch a couple of years ago after decades of shooting in aperture priority or full manual mode. Now I shoot about 90% of my images in Manual/Auto Iso with the remainder in full manual mode. I really like having direct control over both aperture and shutter speed and allowing ISO to float within a set range.
It dawned on me how many shots I missed by having too low speed especially as I got a nosebleed over 400 ISO. Like you luvving it now should have done it ages ago. Thanks for your comments Robin.Very nice Robin!

Inclined to agree with you RalphI totally Agree!!It’s the best.
Thanks Mike it’s a great and potent little combo .Nice shot Robin I do the same as you now too and with the same lens combination.
Ruley , thanks mate. I think the Kestrel had more than a lot to do with it.Beautiful image Robin
Irap thank you for nice comments. I m getting slightly better now (not always) but wondering about having the exposure in the view finder , might be helpful .Very nice shot, Robin . Most of the time I shoot using Auto ISO too.
Hi Harry I like cropped sensors so the D 500 was my choice and I am very pleased with it so much that I’m thinking of a second one for my other Pf.Beautiful shot Robin the detail and colours are excellent ... You said you had made the switch from Canon , which of the Nikon bodies did you go for ?

FB many thanks for your comments.One day I hope all my cock-ups will as gorgeous as this shot
I am starting to transition as well to full manual with auto-iso coming from Av with Utopia's-iso and it is a learning curve but like everybody else, I feel it will be worth it.
Thanks Manglo your are thoughts appreciated, Robin.A very nice shot of the bird with its catch. Manual with auto-ISO and backbutton focus is the way to go.
Hi Dmacfari , I sort of think you have answered your own question in that it’s the Iso you are comfortable with.What “range” of ISO are you comfortable with? I’d hate to miss a shot due to too low an upper limit on my D500.
Do you set a different limit depending on the subject ( BIF, landscape, etc. ) ?
