I have adopted it. Great with Auto ISO.

I have my ISO set to the control ring with a half press of the shutter button. But I been playing around with the Fv setting some more. I would NEVER use Auto ISO, but I guess I am getting used to the control of Fv. My obsession of never using Auto ISO is from early days of digital I guess where ISO 800 was getting pretty bad with noise.

Noise is not a reason not to use auto-ISO. You can set a maximum ISO value of that isn’t your concern. Auto ISO is a great and useful tool.

Just like the days of film with grain. Although my go to for B&W was Tri-X 400, loved that grain look.

I might try this out some more, setting my control ring to Exposure comp.

Yep, good plan.

The only thing is once you take say the shutter speed out of auto, you have to go to your back screen and select it and set it up to auto manually (like Av mode). Right?

If you have shutter in auto and shutter selected you just have to turn the top dial to set it manually. Or press the auto button to turn it back to auto. It is incredibly easy to flick between what is essentially manual with auto ISO and Av mode.

It's just so new from anything I have used before. Just a different way of thinking I guess.
