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.

For a while I also got around using auto ISO in M mode by switching completely to Shutter Priority mode instead. I usually set mine to about 1/1000s in outdoor daylight, and about 1/200 for capturing fast indoor action, and just about 1/100 for general indoor/dimly lit room.

Haven't tried the GX9, G95 or G9 yet, but I'm curious to see if Panasonic really solved the auto ISO with exposure compensation and minimum shutter speed in the newer bodies. Thank you
