Thanks Erik. We agree on most body-common settings. The only major difference is I set my 3 Auto ISO modes to base to 800, base to 3200, and base to 12800, and tend to live in base to 3200.

Appreciate the details. And go ahead with the Q menu!

Hmm, not sure why that Q menu photo didn’t post, it was there.

On the subject of Auto-ISO presets, I’m not sure why anyone would want to limit the ISO on either end (some folks tend to do both). A lower ISO is always better if it can go there and still satisfy the other preset parameters. Limiting how high the ISO can go runs the very real risk of the camera overriding your minimum SS setting - I’ll take a noisy shot over a blurry one any day. I don’t want to shoot at ISO 12800, but if it has to go that high to maintain my minimum SS while not clipping any highlights, I usually let it.
