So I have the Canon EOS 80D and since I bought it I've used Auto ISO (Nice step up from manually changing it all the time!). I've kept it on 100-16,000 for Auto and Manual range from 100-25,600. So it's maxed out. I've always been told it's better to get the shot and have some noise than to miss it altogether. I shoot birds outdoors and I've noticed sometimes it shoots up to ISO 8000 and it gives a fairly noisy image. My question is, should I limit my Auto ISO to a point where I'm happy with the amount of noise produced and possibly have to lower my shutter speed and get a shot that may not be sharp or should I let the camera max out the range and just let the noise happen. I'm happy with ISO 3200 but can deal with ISO 6400, anything above that it gets soft. But at the same time I got a shot of some deer which I don't even remember what it was shot at but it was above 6400 and it was salvageable, just not something I was proud of. Insight please! I've been trying to refine the settings in my camera as I get more acquainted with it and shooting birds and other wildlife.
