[Leica] Auto ISO

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

Steve, I have used auto ISO exclusively ever since I got my M8, almost 5 
years ago, on every camera. Usually in combination with exposure priority. 
Since getting the Fuji X-Pro 1, I have switched to setting both aperture and 
shutter speed and letting the ISO fall where it needs to be. The reason the 
Fuji made me do this is that it has no facility for setting the slowest 
shutter speed I will accept--it has its own default of 1/30 sec. or 
something like that. My other cameras allow me to set this parameter, but 
not the Fuji. Therefore, I started setting both. On a typical sunny day 
walking around, I may have the lens at f5.6 or f8 and the shutter speed at 
1/500. Works well. The one disadvantage on the Fuji is that the exposure 
compensation does not work in manual mode.

Cheers,
Nathan
