just finished the "Nikon Exposure" book from Steve, And moving to the "Nikon Auto Focus" book. Guys, BUY HIS BOOKS! With a minimal price you get so much information in there that your head will spin. Along with many myth busting...

Your tutorials are the greatest I have ever watched. I keep coming back to them whenever I need to refresh my memory. So many things make your tutorials so good! Here's just a few of the things I love: Your ability to explain complex topics in an easy-to-understand way with simple language. The simple yet beautiful illustrations as you explain things. The way you show the camera's menu, explain the settings and what they do. Keeping the narration straight and to the point, without a ton of "filler talk" that is so common among others. Thank you for all your tutorials, tips and tricks!!! 🙏

Today my wife asked me to photograph a “Century ride” for her dressage club. It’s when a rider and horse combined age is 100 years. A pretty rare occurrence. I knew the barn was poorly lit by sun from one side, and today is overcast. So I wanted to be able to control the motion (shutter speed) so I set shutter priority on my D850, and I set the Auto ISO per this video. It worked really well. Thanks!

Another great informative video... thank you and welcome back Steve...

Thank you, Steve, that has cleared up a lot of questions I needed answers to in a clear and understandable tutorial.

another masterpiece, Steve! I am from Georgia (Republic) far away from the USA :), your follower for years and have already bought all your books and they are worth every penny. keep going, Steve

The most easy to understand and comprehensive explanation for these settings that I’ve found. Your ebooks are also awesome Steve, great work & thank you 😊🙏🏿

You make THE BEST educational videos, so easy to understand. The dropping sun while showing how it changes settings is genius!

So good to see your productions back again! Hope you enjoyed the break. Will definitely miss the videos (definitely my favorites!). Thanks again Steve.

Steve I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I always keep my camera in auto iso but didn't know I could toggle it on and off with the front dial button. Thank you for another awesome video!!

This is an excellent video. Thank you! It perfectly explains a topic I've been trying to explain to my friends for years. Keep up the good work!

I stumbled onto using auto-iso in manual mode a year or two ago and love it! This video provides a very good tutorial for how the settings change in various exposure modes. Highly recommended, and I wish this video had come out 7 years ago when I first started (trying to rather unsuccessfully) shooting high school Cross Country anack and Field.

Thanks so much for the video. I’ve been shooting Nikon for years but you always seem to find something that I’ve been messing up. Keep up the great work.

Your videos are absolutely perfect. Clean delivery and a solid explanation of how the system works under Auto ISO. You are an excellent teacher and are providing wonderful service with this sort of clear explanation. Nikon should hire you to do a series of tutorial videos. Keep it up.

I had seen your other video on Auto ISO and so understood the concept and have been using it for a while now (thanks much). However, I have to say that this is a really concise and well laid out video. You really have a gift for teaching,

Absolute best, most thorough, most clear explanation of the "flowchart" that the camera follows when applying ISO area to the various modes. THANK-YOU for clearing things up for me, finally!!!!

Another great video Steve.. Thank you for all you help out with and contribute with in the FM/Nikon community.

Very well explained. Concise and a good visualization of the underlying logic. Thanks for your effort!

This is GOLD, Steve! Thanks for making it so easy to understand.

The sliding sun from bright to dark is an excellent graphic. Thanks. Thanks also for the detail about when the camera goes below the minimum shutter speed and when it allows underexposure.

Your videos are very sharp with awesome in-depth explanations. Many thanks...

This is quite possibly the best instructional video I have ever watched! The narration and graphics make a somewhat complicated subject completely clear. I'll have to check out more of your vids.

Dear Steve, you give me confidence that I know what to set on the camera, and why. Thank you.

This is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to explain this complicated subject.

I want to thankyou once again for turning me on to this. been using auto ISO in manual mode for about a year now, along with back button focus and will never look back.

This is without a doubt the best guide I have ever seen on Auto ISO. Thanks a lot!

Wow! Steve this video was outstanding! It really cleared up several things for me. Thank you very much for posting it.

Your videos are always so helpful. Thank you.

Great work Steve.....the best help on KZfaq! I don't know how you remember all this stuff but very well done!!

Well presented, clear tutorial on a complicated subject. Nice work

Lots of info for me to grasp at ones. I will watch it over again.. I am a Nikon D7100 shooter and your two e-books were the best purchase I made to improve my photography. always look forward for your material. Thanks Steve.

Your teaching skills are matched by your photographic skills, Kudos.

Thank you for this video. This really helped me out. I will check out your books.

This is really good video Steve. Exactly what I wanted to know about auto ISO settings and more importantly recommendation. Thanks and Cheers :)

Really helpful and informative Steve, thank you 😊

VERY helpful video! I got a D7500 a couple months ago and your videos have been super useful fully understanding some of the settings.

Very good video. Informative, clear and covers the points straight up...

This was crystal clear and super helpful, thank you so much!

Thank you so much Steve. I've tried this technique before but got scared off by it over exposing my shots. I have a D500 with a 200-500 F5.6. Trying to maintain a good exposure in difficult lighting conditions. Now with this video I'm dipping my toes in that water again and already my test shots are coming out better. I think I need to embrace higher iso's and allow the camera to do it's thing while I'm in manual when in low light. Furthermore I like your explanation regarding exposure comp and how you won't see the indicator. That offers some reassurance as I felt I was doing something wrong. Great work and thanks again. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

very good info and explanation, thanks !!

I went manual + auto iso about a year ago. A suggestion from a different KZfaq photographer (Morten Hilmer). Works great if you hike as light conditions can change so quickly in a forest. Great video! So informative!

Absolutely the best explanation of this whole subject I've ever seen. Applies equally well to Canon users. Thank you Steve.

Excellent tutorial. I have bought your ebooks. Those are simply awesome!!!

Steve's examples make such a potentially-confusing subject very clear. Highly recommended video created by a superb teacher.

Thanks for another excellent video Steve. I already use manual and auto ISO on my D850 and D500 but I still learnt a few things from this.

OMG I am less than 1/3 thru this video and you already taught me something I had no idea I could do on my D850: switch between normal ISO setting and Auto ISO using the ISO button with the front command dial. I had no idea! I had that in the "My Menu" set of options, but I just removed it after discovering I don't need it there using your tip. Geez....thank you! Oh, and I've used Auto ISO with great success for 8th graders as they pass between bright areas and shadow areas like your bird example, and for bees on flowers. Bees fly around of course, but they also jiggle as they crawl all over the flowers. I've found that a minimum of 320 shutter speed is needed, I still set the aperture under aperture priority, but let the ISO scream up (within limits) to make it all work.

Thanks for breaking down this section of auto iso, very helpful tutorial.

Thank you for this valuable information. Much needed for beginners like me!

THanks Steve, again a very helpful video. I didn't fully realise the implications of using Auto ISO but having watched the video it all makes sense now and hopefully I will benefit more from using this useful facility.

Incredible explanation!! Thank you!

I started using this technique in aperture priority mode, but mostly use it in manual mode so I can quickly adjust the shutter speed. Best of both worlds.

Beautifully explained. Thanks!

Hi Steve, great video. I know many people learn faster by watching tutorials. Keep them coming!

Great video Steve, just tried it out yesterday, and seems to work amazingly (also for portraits, where lighting is changing). By now I watched like almost all of your videos, and love the way you explain/demonstrate things, they really help me to understand some things I did not know or did not feel like trying out. (like for example, back button AF, and how it works wonders, that I also started to use since I saw your video about it, as it finally explained why it is a good technique.) I was wondering could you maybe do a video on Nikon Flashes, and how to best use them?

I've been using auto iso for 2 years now and love it! I can still manipulate the iso by adjusting my shutter or aperture if needed. Fantastic advice for everyone!

Really enjoying your videos! I understand my camera features much better since finding your channel thank you!

Appreciate this video! It cleared up some confusion about the Auto ISO for me!

Thanks for the video Steve much appreciated. You are generous in sharing your knowledge and expertise. Clearly explained but a lot to digest here. Will roll through it a few times while l menu dive.

FINALLY!! . . Finally I have found that one video I’ve been looking for. For some reason I managed to get myself tied up in knots over the ISO settings. Many thank for sharing. Much appreciated. 😊

Thank you for sharing, the information has been so useful.

Very comprehensive info mixed with the usual dose of humor. Very well explained!

Awesome tutorial.... many many thanks for minor exclusive details.... 👌👌

Just got purchased a D850, thank you for your explanation of ISO/Auto Iso control and how to set them..Cleared the fog in my brain

Thank you for this well explained video

Very helpful video. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

Makes such a lot of sense, thank you. I now understand my iso function on D5600.

500 pages into your exposure book. Best one that I’ve purchased from you. Learning more than I honestly thought I would.

great tips! thanks for sharing.

Awesome video - thanks for all the information.

I can second Steves books, they are fantastic; full of lots of valuable information which he explains in a very clear way with his diagrams, photos and sense of humour. Great job Steve, the books are worth every penny.

I've read the book twice. No, I'm not a glutton for punishment. It's just that it's packed with so much helpful information, it takes more than one read to absorb it all. Manual with auto ISO has become one of my favorite modes for shooting action. Steve, thanks so much!

Great Great Video. Loads of information for us camera and Nikon users. This will help me a bunch in wildlife photography.

This has always been confusing to set up. Thanks for sharing this just in time for me as I'm heading out to take some shots of the tundra swans today :)

I've gone ahead and given it a thumbs up before I've even watched it. I have that much confidence in Steve! I'll probably watch it over lunch.

Great explanation of how auto ISO works in all camera modes. I'm a manual + auto ISO convert. :)

I glad I figured out how to use this over the weekend on my d7500. Was at the local wildlife refuge and went from shade to bright Florida sun and I was finally able to get good bird picture. Thanks for all your tips.

Those graphics are really helpful. Well done!

The best instruction on ISO settings I have ever seen.

Great explanation from a great photographer!!!

Love auto iso. Thank You for the details.

Another beautifuly informative video as usual.

I love my d7200 and with your videos and expert expertise its now double the fun. Thanks a ton

We missed you... thanks for the knowledge

Really informative video. Just like always.

Wonderful wonderful video. So insightful!!! I say he is the best Nikon teacher out there.

Thanks for this Steve, very much appreciated.

Thanks Steve! I've been using auto ISO on my Nikon D3500, but your video has pointed out several important facts which I'm now glad to have learned!!

Great video as always Steve!

Thank you Steve for making auto ISO understandable

Good to see you back. Will check out the new book.

I never comment on youtube videos, but this actually helped me so much! Thank-you for making this so easy to understand!!

Thanks Steve!!! This was very helpful!

Great vid, very clear explanations. I shoot D7200 and have adopted the settings you recommend.

Fantastic video! Clarified so much.

Thank you so much for this video, it has helped me tremendously

Great information! Thank you very much Steve.

Another great video. Thanks Steve!

Well explained thank you

Thanks so much. You explained it much metter than the manual or anyone else.

Great video...and i learned something new about my Nikon...Thank you!
