AE-L does not include ISO auto?

Hello,

 

while I was shooting yesterday I wanted to use AE-L several times, but it never worked.

 

I was shooting in manual mode (manual shutter speed, manual aperture) with ISO Auto. When pressing the AE-L button the ISO settings still changed, no AE-L symbol was shown in the EVF. When setting ISO manually and shutter speed or aperture to auto, AE-L worked just fine and the AE-L symbol was shown in the EVF.

 

Do I misunderstand something?

Is this a bug?

Does this work as it should?

Is it possible to include ISO auto in AE-L as well?

 

I mean that AE-L should lock the exposure settings as they are.

 

Thanks for your help!

I find this a big problem as well. I usually have my Canon set to manual, but with auto iso. If I'm shooting against the light I use the '*' button to lock the ISO setting from an exposure in the shade, recompose. Quick, easy and simple. Trying to mirror this with my FujiFilm x-T3 doesn't work. The AE-L button doesn't do anything. It's got to be a bug that I would think could be fixed with a firmware update?

I can get around it by setting the ISO manually, but it takes time when you're in a hurry to get the shot.

      Which direction is the light source coming from in the dark images? For example, if it coming from behind the subject, a common occurrence known as backlighting, put some light from the front toward the subject — you can do this with a flash unit, or by using various types of colored reflectors. Or, use long exposures with various grades and types of graduated neutral density filters to bring out the dark areas without blowing out the highlights. Or try bracketing exposures. There is a technique called ETTR, expose to the right, which will bring out shadow detail but risks blowing out the brighter sections. This may help in understanding DR settings as well as Dynamic Range Priority: https://www.jmpeltier.com/fujifilm-dynamic-range-settings/ p.s. The situation you are describing has been one photographers have struggled against since cameras and photographers have been around.

      Looking for HDR RAF image sample

      By DrCQ · Posted

      Hi, I'm looking for some Fujifilm HDR RAF image samples from the X-T4, X-Pro3 or X100V cameras. These cameras should store 3 RAW images inside the RAF image file in HDR mode. In need it, to verify my own software, but don't find any downloadable samples on web. Can someone help? Christoph

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      I would like to get your comments on the following problem of mine: Occasionally, I do get too dark JPG pictures with X-T50 - when the scene is contrasty; I think this is the very situation. This can happen when sun shines from a blue sky or the sky is cloudy but still very bright. I find these outcomes strange, as in many other (more or less similar) situations I find that the exposure is balanced. Is there any remedy for this, as I cannot completely figure out as to why this happens. Photometry is at the most common center-weight setting. What factors/settings can affect the picture's exposure in X-T50 (in the situation I describe)? For JPGs I've set the dynamic range on (DR400 with ISO500). Can that do it?? I thought it balances contrasts... Well, I can adjust the exposure on a computer but that is extra work for holiday pictures.

      Like Jerryy says you can scale you image down so that it can be uploaded - that way we aren't guessing. The only symbol that looks like a camera is the Continuous Mode symbol - but it normally has "L" or "H" next to it rather than a "1"
