Micro 4/3 at ISO 3200
This is what micro 4/3 is capable of at the moment:

Uh, OK, looks good, but do people really go around shooting at ISO 3200? If so, why, outside of astrophotography? -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Uh, OK, looks good, but do people really go around shooting at ISO 3200? If so, why, outside of astrophotography? Shooting high ISO is just another creative option, especially with newer sensors. While it is optimal to shoot at native ISO there are definitely times when higher ISO is desirable. Remember there are folks who shoot genres other than astrophotography, or macro photography of insects. Today many cameras perform well in low light at ISO 3200, 6400, and to 12800 and beyond. You will find that a new trend is to use Auto-ISO with a base ISO, a minimum shutter speed, and max ISO set. Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fujifilm and others all have this feature, and it works well. I use it all depending on circumstances; fixed ISO, (native and selected sub-native, medium, and high), and three different Auto-ISO set-ups. -- Regards, Savageduck |

As I said, it is optimal to shoot at native ISO, and for most DSLR's, MILC's, and (M)4/3's that is usually 100 or 200 ISO. I have found that using Auto-ISO in varying daylight, both the X-E2 and X-T2, with the following Auto-ISO settings: Base 200 ISO, Min Shutter 1/80, Max ISO 1600, most images are captured at ISO 200-400. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I forgot that one of the neat features with the X-T4 2.0 firmware update/upgrade, is the improvement to the bracketing options. Along with AE brackets of -2, +2, ±3, ±5, ±7, & ±9 frames @EV in 1/3 steps to 3, there are ISO bracketing steps of ±1/3 - ±1, all useful tools when needed. -- Regards, Savageduck |

All OK, but high ISO cuts down the possible dynamic range. better to have low dynamic range than nothing at all. Keep it low if you can. *if* you can. it's not always possible, and also why auto-iso is a good choice. |

Keep it low if you can. Exactly so. ISO 3200 may be trendy, but I'm interested in picture quality, not trendiness. I shoot between ISO 100 and 200. Not enough light?

That's what off-camera flashes are for flash is not always allowed, on or off camera, particularly in theaters, museums and other places, and even if it is allowed, it can be rather annoying to others. in those situations, iso 3200 may be your only option to get a photo. |
