See why I think the ISO AUTO Minimum Shutter Speed or 'ISO Auto Min. SS' is Sony Alpha's most useful custom setting. I discuss why shooting in Aperture priority with a modified ISO AUTO Min. SS setting offers several advantages to shooting in Shutter priority mode. I also demo how to assign the setting to a custom button for fast access.

What is the difference from subscribe here and the Patreon
by far, this is the best tutorial on ISO AUTO Min. SS
Thanks for the positive feedback
If only the teachers all over the world could teach things as simple as you do ! Thanks a lot.
You continue to help me expand my capabilities on these incredible cameras. Thank you for being so concise and educational.
I've been chopping and changing between Manual, Aperture and Shutter priority my fingers are numb. Until now that is. Thank you for saving me from more mental and physical pain! Truly a wonderful video.
Thanks for the positive feedback
You deserve millions of subscribers
that's his passion so I would assumed he doesnt care :)
except the videos are not too concise.
You can always read the manual Dr Leo....
I agree he deserve a million suscr
So true!
After two years from moving from Canon to Sony (a6400) and face the tusk of managing the change I hardly have found a better professor than Mr. Galer who master knowledge, comunication and composition. I keep on coming back to his tutorials to review some concepts. Thank you.
Thank you Javier - if you have not already done so check out my Alpha support channel over at Patreon.com/markgaler
As usual with Mark’s videos, superb and chock full of information.
Waiting for my first Sony camera, I was wondering about this . What a nice implementation, thank you for this great explanation.
Among all the topics, this one is my most favorite. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Amazing, Mark. Just amazing. Another really helpful tutorial!
Thanks for that (and all the other tutorials-I've had the A73 for about three weeks and learned plenty from you.). I never would have thought to look for such a feature. With the great sensors in these cameras, I typically shoot manual with Auto ISO, but this is cool.
Superb info and images. Great reasoning on your thoughts. Makes me want to rethink some of my workflow. I dont normally shot sports or fast moving subjects a lot but still great info Mark. You ARE the best and your Ambassador title is well deserved.! Keep it up. We really appreciate it.
Outstanding! Before watching your video I didn’t even know about that feature. I now looooove the auto iso auto min. ss feature so much that I couldn’t do without it.
Stellar information Mark ! Pure gold !!! Thank you !!!!!!
Really great video! Thank you for this!
This is incredibly helpful. I do mainly sports/events, and to not need to be constantly worrying about shutter speed / iso so I can focus on getting the shots makes such a big difference.
Thanks again Mark for a great video. I now think of this setting as ISO Auto TARGET SS, which is what you called it in some of your slides!
All of your videos are great Mark. I have been watching them to learn as much as I can before taking the dive. I am working on a plan to purchase the A7R III with appropriate Sony lenses. Many thanks.
Thanks for the info... will be tipping soon!!!
Just purchased this camera, changing from micro four thirds, mostly due to your video's Mark and this one is particularly brilliant
Can't wait to get my new camera to put your advice into practice! Thanks for these fantastic video tutorials.
Shutter speed is always something I fail to pay attention to. With your excellent suggestions set, I think my SS will definitely improve. Thank you Mark.
Great tutorial, as always. Thanks!
Wow, who knew. Great in-depth advice
Excellent presentation!
Mark, your instruction and information are detailed and professional, at every level of shooter. Thank you. IM JOINING
Only video on YT, at least that i could find that goes into this much detail about such an important shooting mode and expands above and beyond. Thanks! Cant believe that 1/250 shutter speed got you those panning motorcycle shots, they are amazing. I have a lot of practicing to do lol
Truly one of your best videos. It was very helpful. I rarely use Aperture Priority, but that has changed. Sony has made so many fantastic features on these latest E Mount cameras!
Great Info Sir I love your all tutorials
Definitely the greatest content on KZhead!!! Thanks a lot for Your help!!!
As someone who’s just got a Sony Alpha camera I find your videos incredibly useful for me to understand all the features in these incredible cameras and to set up to my requirements
Wow, can not thank you enough! I've learned sooo much from you and your tutorials! The best!
Thanks Mark! Great videos.
Best advanced instructions on You Tube....we all appreciate your straight forward info. You deserve as many viewers and subscribrrs as you can get.
Splendid! Simply Amazing! Had I been aware of this #alphauniverse and #mirrorless whilst you were in Bozeman I would not have missed it for the world. C1 was immediately changed. Thank you!
Very nice video again. Very helpfull to discover more from our Sony full frame camera's. Thanks!
Mark, thank you for such a clear and concise explanation of ISO Auto Min. SS. Your explanations are the best. Thanks again.
These videos are the only way to learn your 7RIV. Thank you, Mark Galer.
Thank you for educating Sony Alpha users.
Thank you Mark,all your videos are ver7 detailed and professional.Many thanks from ...Greece
Great content Mark, learned a lot from you !!!!
All of these example photos are freaking phenomenal! I just discovered your channel and I can't be happier! Thank you for sharing this valuable knowlege for free!
Thanks for the positive feedback - I prefer to educate others only after first mastering my own craft.
Love your videos, thank you Mark!!!!
Great video. Thanks Mark !
Love the moto go shots. Wouldn’t mind a go at these . Great vid as always 👍
theeeere we go ! didn't want to click on this in the first place because of the 26 minutes but it's all here, thank you !
Thank you. Two words that are simple to say but not said enough.
Great, thanks! Defenitely gonna try that mode, as i've missed quite some shoots to motion blur in the past ...
Wow ! I learned a lot on this video . thank you
Hands down the best guy on KZhead.🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 Well versed in Sony cameras📷📷📷. I have RX100V and have many of the settings and never knew what they did. Going to be upgrading to a 6500 or A7RII. Keep up the great work, it's greatly appreciated🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🙋🏿♂️🙋🏿♂️🙋🏿♂️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Everyday is a school day, especially when I watch your videos Mark! Thank you so much.
Thanks Mark! You are a Hero for us Sony Full Frame Shooters!
actually he is a hero for us Crop Sony shooters as well . great info even if you dont shoot Sony (which would be a sin! Sony Rocks!!)
I was like "I hope he explains what I need to know in the first minute", but then I watched the whole info-packed video and do not regret it
Exactly. And that is as good a compliment as one could give a video imo.
Mark, I only just found and viewed this particular instruction video and found it one of the most useful I have ever come across , thank you so much for producing this and others.
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding video Mark. I have owned the A7M3 for 2 years now and you have just blown me away sharing your knowledge of the capabilities of the ISO Min SS feature. I'll nominate you for a Nobel Prize. Thank you, and keep up the excellent work!
Excellent video. Thank you. 👍🏻
Wonderful help. Thank you 🙏
Solid class thank you
Thanks for the very helpful video. I have a sony a7iii. This video will help alot.
Recently bought a Sony A7iii and been watching his channel every day for two weeks. Re watching videos over and over. Best teacher ever. He is a Sensei for sure.
Hi, great explanation. Greating from Germany. Cheers Werner
Mark，Thanks！ You are one of few people who really work on the details of Sony cameras.
thats for sure and he has no desire to try and sell you anything as is the focus of MOST YT vides with sponsored channels and links below. his great info and the cameras amazing tech will sell itself when presented in such a clear and helpful manner like this. Mark is THE MAN!
This is a great feature. I just got the a7iii. Upgraded from a a6400 and this feature and stabilization was worth the upgrade alone. I am able to get sharp images at 1/8 of a second compared to 1/30 on my a6400 and that's huge. Thanks!!!!
Thank you for explaining this so clearly and comprehensively. When working with low light and wild birds I have found myself wanting to set the minimum shutter speed to 1/1600s or 1/1250s on my A6300 but the feature seems to be limited to full stops forcing me to choose between 1/2000s or 1/1000s. Min shutter speed is such a good feature that I would programme the dial to change the setting without first having to press a function button. This would be great in a situation where I have a perched bird that is fairly still and I can use a slower shutter speed; however, I might wish to change to a fast shutter speed instantly if the bird takes to flight. I have started using the camera in manual with auto ISO instead, which allows me to change the shutter speed directly with the dial. I walk around with the A6300 and 70-350mm zoom, a lovely light weight camera but small apertures on APSC tend to force the ISO up more than I’d like.
Mark, thank you. I really do value your videos, they have helped a lot.
Glad you like them!
I was just learning about this and found your video. Excellent as always
Glad it was helpful!
super useful tips!
Wow, I've been serious about photography for 10+ years. You've caused me to rethink my entire foundation of action photography. Never thought that I'd want to avoid Shutter Priority, but it makes a hell of a lot of sense. Taking my A9 out soon to test this out. Thanks so much. Will donate shortly.
I prefer to prioritise exposure rather than shutter speed or PDAF - just remember that if the ambient light is low you will see your shutter speed drop below the one you set in ISO Auto Min SS
@@AlphaCreativeSkills Good point. Again thank you.
Thank you, yet again.
A true professional thank you
What a brilliant tutorial and knowledge passed in such a professional manner! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Many, many thanks for this explanation it helped me a lot. Cheers Jess
Just remember that when the ambient light gets low the shutter speed will go below what you have set in ISO Auto Min SS - this is to prioritise correct exposure over shutter speed.
thank you Mark. You helped me to take better pictures.
Great to hear!
Thanks Mark, great info as always. Glad to be a Patron.
Much appreciated!
incredibly helpful.
Glad to hear!
Excellent as usual, love your images. Do you mind sharing your general picture profile?
easily the most comprehensive and professional tutorials. you have helped and inspired my photography
Great to hear!
great fotograph, wunderfull
This really changed the game for me. Thank you for making these videos. So professional and easy to grasp.
You're very welcome!
Just got an a9 and was watching your basic settings for action tutorial and when you brought this up I was perplexed... After watching this i'm hopefully going to try it at a skiing competition this weekend! Thanks Mark!
Just remember that this is a location setting so if you try this indoors next to your computer, the shutter speed will be slower than the one you have set in ISO Auto Min SS because of the lack of light (the shutter speed begins to slow when the max ISO has been reached)..
@@AlphaCreativeSkills Wow from the professor himself! Thanks for the advice sir!
This customization was passed on during your a9 (and a7R3/a73) action setup videos. At first I didn't use "AUTO ISO Min SS". By chance, thanks to those videos and having that saved in Mem 3, I had it and used it once. That one single customization has done the most to improve my quick shooting image quality. If you haven't already, I would update those 2 older videos description and provide links to the video. I find that I get the action or run and gun, shots I want almost everytime now with this customization. I have my a9 and a7R3 both setup to use this customization for this type of shooting. I have C2 button assigned and adjust this often. The other thing I find myself using a lot is I have the metering mode where I can change it fast. I take a lot of shots with changing light situations and back and forth between multi, spot, and highlight. You get to know which metering mode will best capture the scene the way you want. But between those 2 (auto iso min ss and metering mode) with your action settings, my results have improved tremendously. I wanted to personally thank you again for all your work on these videos. If we are ever in the same city together, I owe you dinner my friend. Have a great day!
Hi. Really useful video. Thanks
Hi Mark I like your video and all the good work you put into them. I'm just learning sony a9 . I used Sony video Cameras / Still in 1990 they were all great Cameras and some how they got off track until the A9s and A7 . I glad to see they are back on top again. You are doing a great job with your videos. Thank you.
I am not sure what you mean by off-track. They didn’t enter the ILC market until 2006 and their development strategy has been consistent and progressive - although not always apparent to reviewers.
Thank you.
Great information!
Unless I’m using lights when I’m totally manual, I am an aperture priority shooter and use auto iso all the time. This KZhead video matches my experience exactly and good to have my experience over several years confirmed. My C2 button on my A9 and A7Rii are set to Auto ISO Min Shutter speed. I use C1 for focus area consistently on all my cameras. Thanks for the videos (sorry “movies”) Mark.
Awesome sir....Thanks you.
Have watched this several times - keep coming back to review/refresh my take on this information. Excellent presentation; my primary work flow to use Aperture mode with ISO Auto Min. SS Fast and make changes as required. Premium Patreon member for 2 years. Continue to enjoy my humble, apsc a6400.
Thanks for the positive feedback Jim :-)
I love your videos 👍
Great video Mark. The nugget for me here was the lack of PDAF beyond F11 so I appreciate you throwing that in there. Like others, I watch your videos to learn as much as I can, not necessarily because everything will automatically be of practical use for my own photography -- but regardless of whether it is or not, everything you discuss is always worth knowing. Thanks again.
The only time it becomes an issue is when you are wanting to use a slow shutter speed when panning in sunny weather. The answer is an ND8 filter.
@@AlphaCreativeSkills is it okay to reduce the exposure in post production and avoid the filter? If you shoot in RAW.
outstanding presentation! Thank you! :)
You're very welcome!
Thank You....
Mate. You have no idea how much this helps everybody. :)
Except that it does not work well -- Auto ISO and Min Shutter Speed can collide with one another, and the Shutter Speed takes the hit so that it's no longer kept at the "minimum" value you selected....
Great info! I've already shared with other Sony shooters. Actually really enjoy every video of yours I've seen. Keep up the great work!
Great video. Since both the front and back dial control aperture when in Aperture priority, it's kind of weird that you can't program one of them to control ISO Auto Min. SS instead. It would be very useful. At least the function could be included in the "My Dials" customization.
That’s a good idea.
Best advice on Sony ISO I’ve seen. I shoot with a a7c.
Thanks for the positive feedback
I love my Alpha 7 camera. this a helpful video. Sony has done its best to make the automation helpful, but its a lot to remember, if you are shooting in less than usual conditions. bike shots were, I presumed all panning shots I did wonder if/how this 'help' is implemented in the A99 A-mount camera, which is reputed to have clairvoyant AF the ageing menu system, needs revamping, imo. flip forward screen, added lcd utility would be helpful, maybe the V (5th) series will get those. - so Sony keeps it tech. lead.
Mark', I admire you because you teach the most elaborate subjects in most comprehensive and simplest manner. I would like to see more Setting (Memory Setting) guides for Manual speedlite shooters with indoor and outdoor human subjects ..(Sony A7 III) Thanks a million ,,

This is incredible, I had no idea you could access this setting via a custom button! This makes Sony's min. SS implementation the best I've seen, and honestly I'd consider switching from Fuji for that feature alone. However, in your kookaburra and dog examples, I personally would have preferred to max out the max ISO and let the camera honour my min. shutter speed, because as you said you set those speeds for a reason (to freeze the motion). Anyway great video, and greetings from Brissy :)
If you respect the shutter speed you will underexpose the image. I would rather have more panning blur than underexposure.
@@AlphaCreativeSkills but if you don't respect the shutter speed you could end up with subject motion blur, camera shake, or both. Let's use the dog example specifically. At the start you mentioned that you wanted 1/4000 to freeze the action, but later you show that this is lowered to 1/2000 due to your auto ISO limit to achieve the correct exposure. But according to your logic, 1/2000 isn't sufficient to freeze the action, so motion blur may occur (if 1/2000 were acceptable, wouldn't you just set that at the start?). And I'm not sure the panning example applies here, since you were actually trying to lower your SS at base ISO.
