Wouldn't it be easier to just turn the ISO dial to A when you need Auto ISO? Its just one click from the C position, and would be faster than the wheel if you aren't at the end of the ISO range.

Yes, I think I will eventually have to bite the bullet and use at least the ISO dial on this camera. Maybe I was a little bit too naive thinking that I can set this body up, so that the top dials will be mostly for decoration. The X-H1 was my favorite back then, but the X-T4 was technologically advanced, and the X-H2(S) rumors already everywhere. I thought I could get used to it, but I really don’t like to use the top dials except when on a tripod.

Erik Baumgartner gave me some impulses which already led to some smaller QoL improvements of my setup, and I am still experimenting with the Auto-ISO settings, and basically what will work for my use cases on this camera.

I have to do some more sessions with the down button for Auto-ISO, and keeping the camera in A-ISO, but also while using the front wheel for changing ISO (Auto-ISO included, basically giving me the down button for another function), and keeping it in C-ISO.

Today I used the camera with a slightly changed Auto-ISO 1 setting (max. ISO 400), and it worked flawlessly, but I still have to do the culling to see if I got what I wanted from the shots.

I really worked hard to make the C-AF on this camera work for me, and I think I succeeded.

Now I want to get the last 5% out of this body, to make it the best possible fit for me and my style.
