In this video I talk about how to set the correct ISO in your camera manually and why I don't like the AUTO-ISO function by highlighting the shortcomings of this function in today's cameras.`

The problem described in the example is describing AUTO-ISO in the context of aperture priority. I am aware that there are cameras with shutter priority mode. Not the Leica M series though.

This might change in the future since machine learning and artificial intelligence finds its way into cameras. There is a good chance for smart scene detection in the future.

All photos in this video were taken on my Leica M-D 262.

I hope you enjoy the video and I would be interested in your opinion in the comments below.
