That G85 has a pretty lousy useless auto-iso, I think the G90 does this much better, like my G9, I think.

If you have a good auto-iso, that makes photography so much easier ...

For the rest, that G85 is good.

That's very interesting to know, thanks for sharing the information about auto-ISO. I never had problem with auto-ISO before, maybe I haven't really encountered a scene that makes me think of that, but maybe I'll keep an eye about the G85 auto ISO for future shots. Thanks!

I suppose Josef was talking about the implementation of Auto ISO under M mode. Most older generations of cameras of Panasonic adopted an interesting methodlogy, manual is manual. Therefore in older models M used Manual ISO only.

Later on, under demands from users, Auto ISO was supported in M mode. Sadly no Exposure Compensation be allowed, hence making the M + Auto ISO becomes another full automatic shooting mode similar to P, and shooter cannot override the exposure as set by the camera. M of GX85 allows auto ISO but I never use it because no EC support. EC is only added for latest models (GX9, G95, G9 etc?).

I used to the conventional operation of Panasonic, hence auto ISO in M or not means nothing to me.
