So why don't you use auto-ISO? I do, I set the limit to 6400 and forget about it.

That is a very good question, that I really couldn't answer.

Probably, because I just like playing with all the buttons and gizmos and such on the camera.

In any event, I switched over to automatic ISO, and came home and took this picture of her blackberries, after the sun came out.

She was very pleased with the blackberry pictures, and started sending them and the pictures of the mulaine and wild garlic to her garnding friends.

She asked me what ISO I used on the blackberry pictures, and I said the camera selected ISO 200, which was a very low ISO, and the default for the camera.

She wondered if the camera, was smarter than I was, about what ISO to use, and I agreed that usually it was.

If I remember to let the camera select the ISO, and don't go playing with all the buttons on it.
