What's new

First day with my first DSLR! Dog Picture

It must have been because you had the ISO set to auto :) It doesn't have anything to do with AP.
Rebecca, the aperture priority mode will select various camera settings (including ISO) automatically based on what I have selected for aperture, thus giving priority for my aperture setting. Understand? From what I gather, that's the point of Aperture priority over full manual, mode where one is forced to manually select things such as ISO, etc... (when one is only concerned about adjusting aperture)

I'm fairly new here, however I notice a specific lack of helpfulness in most of your posts, most of which seem are pointless sassy remarks. Is there a reason for this?

What Rebecca is saying is that setting your ISO to Auto is not related to Aperture Priority mode. It just so happened that your ISO was set to Auto. They are two unrelated settings. She wasn't being snarky, she was trying to help you understand an important distinction. Aperture Priority mode by itself does not select your ISO for you. You manually set it. In your case, it was "manually" set to Auto.

I hope that helps clear that up. I don't like to speak for other members, so I hope Rebecca doesn't mind me chiming in.

Thank you, that is what I was trying to say :)

...jesus.

You have no idea what you're doing, and when someone comes in to tell you that you're wrong, you slam them. Not really the best way to go about getting good C&C. Like everyone else has said, your ISO is not dependent upon shutter speed, aperture, or anything else - you set it manually and separately. You left your ISO on "auto" and the camera selected what it thought was best.
 
Rebecca ,,,,,,I like it when you are Sassy,,,:lol:

Like I said, I set it to aperture priority and it selected ISO automatically, I fail to see how it is not part of the setting. Obviously ISO is not dependent on the other settings, however, all things considered, the camera at least thinks the image I am taking will come out better with an ISO of 400 and a shutter speed of 1/400 rather than an iso of 3200 and a shutter speed of 1/5000.

Is the point of Av not to have the camera select the best settings for the conditions to take (What it thinks is) the highest quality picture while using my specified F setting? Had I manually set the ISO to a higher number the shutter speed would have been increased significantly... As would have the amount of noise in the photo, reduced the amount of contrast and effected the color reproduction. Leaving it at auto, the camera is programmed to select settings based on various quality of exposure factors.

And isn't that its point over manual mode?

I have been lurking here for a while and just noted a trend of catty sarcasm followed by defensiveness, and I have set her to ignore based on her recommendation. I'm here to get feedback, not to have Rebecca come say actually ur wrong about that with absolutely no constructive criticism or help which may have explained why.

Now if someone could please read above and help me understand why ISO "Doesn't have anything to do with Av" with out just saying "Jesus, you have no idea what you are doing" I would be appreciative.

I honestly think he/she is thinking about someone else, I do not ever remember being catty and defensive.. Oh well! Sarcastic sometimes sure, isn't everyone?
 
What everyone is saying boon4376 is that the camera selected the ISO automatically because you had the camera set to AUTO ISO, not because you had it set to Aperture Priority. If you if take AUTO ISO off, then do the same shot again in Aperture Priority, the camera will not select the appropriate ISO setting for you.

Aperture Priority does not cause the ISO to change, AUTO ISO does. You had Aperture Priority and AUTO ISO selected, which is why it selected the ISO setting for you.

Hope that that has made it a little clearer :thumbup:

Aperture priority mode is SEPARATE from auto ISO setting. On my old FujiFilm S2 Pro, there's no such thing as auto ISO so you HAVE to manually select a specific ISO even in Aperture priority mode. Aperture priority can ONLY change ISO if auto ISO setting is ON but it DOES NOT automatically change your ISO.

You can turn auto ISO on or off, in either P, Shutter Priority, or Aperture Priority. Older cameras don't have auto ISO. Aperture Priority and Auto ISO are TWO separate settings. Understand?

You are WAY over sensitive she was just trying to tell you the difference.

In case no one else above me said it.... =P
