AE-L does not include ISO auto?

[menphrad]

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!

Not when you are already in manual mode.

You need to set an iso fixed.

When in auto aperture & shutter speed, AE-L keeps the values. Why not in ISO auto?

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.
