If I set my ISO manually, and start low and gradually increase it, I have better control over the shutter speed while I’m in Av. I can make sure I have enough shutter speed for birds in flight. I live in northwestern Lower Michigan where winters are pretty grey and with the constant F8 aperture, it has helped me get better pictures.

Unfortunately that doesn’t work everywhere. I shoot auto ISO in M mode and use compensation where required. Others swear by the new Fv mode,

FV mode is good but I stick to AV mode and up the minimum shutter speed in the settings by +1.

I also use spot metering and dab the DOF button to check exposure and dial in compensation as needed.

Using exposure simulation all the time I never got on with?
