topic Very High Default ISO values in AUTO ISO mode for HX99 in Cyber-shot compact cameras https://community.sony.bg/t5/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/very-high-default-iso-values-in-auto-iso-mode-for-hx99/m-p/2715484#M5025 <P>I was just doing a few more tests with my new Sony HX99 that I bought recently. I noticed that in P mode (which I almost exclusively use to have all features available) the camera defaults to ISO values of around 3200 already for moderate telephoto settings in anything but bright sunlight conditions. I took some shots this morning with a heavily overcast sky. At 200mm focal length equivalent my old HX9v gave me 1/80 sec at ISO 800 in Auto ISO mode (and the picture is perfectly sharp) but the HX99 exposed at 1/200 sec at ISO 3200, and the quality is consequently pretty poor.&nbsp; I find this unacceptable. I don't need image stabilization in order to get a sharp picture at 1/200 sec at 200mm focal length.</P> Sun, 02 Feb 2020 15:33:31 GMT Thomas_11 2020-02-02T15:33:31Z Very High Default ISO values in AUTO ISO mode for HX99 https://community.sony.bg/t5/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/very-high-default-iso-values-in-auto-iso-mode-for-hx99/m-p/2715484#M5025 <P>I was just doing a few more tests with my new Sony HX99 that I bought recently.
