Limits of AutoISO

I set high ISO myself on my GX7, when I need fast shutter speeds in A mode for fast moving objects.

Otherwise AutoISO would select a shutter speed / ISO combination according to the 1/FL (FL in FF equivalent) rule, i.e. at 25mm I get 1/50, at 100mm 1/200. This is not short enough to freeze motion.

For flowers Auto settings are good enough, except if strong wind is blowing.
