Re: Panasonic Lumix GX7 and the S-mode with vintage lenses

On full manula lenses there are no contacts for the camera to control the aperture, so at S-mode you are basically using the camera as in full manual M-mode. If you want more automatic version, you need to sift to A-mode, which changes the shutter speed automatically, depending on the used aperture and ISO. P-mode does the same with manual lenses, but no more.

On previous messages you got an answer, that it's the model that limits the auto ISO - maybe so, but get the latest firmware anyway.

Have a nice day!
