They do this on purpose ? Like lets make everything 3 , lets do a puzzle and hide a 4 x 4 pixel crowbar just for the fun of it ? <| sep |> Reading this topic , I must admit that I ' m somewhat amusedconfused by that I , as a woman , get approached more by other women in the Netherlands with an obvious sexual overtone or even random women asking me to make out right then and there than apparently most men in the US do . This forum really opened my eyes to how much this ' men have to hit on woman and make all the moves ' idea still lives in the US . <| sep |> That ' s because you ' re not Shooting sports . You set the lens to wide open , the shutter speed to the minimum required to freeze a quarterback ~ 1320 to 1500 , and let the camera set the ISO as low as viable . Shooting something with both shutter speed and DoF requirements . Automotive photography comes to mind . Syncing flash under variable lighting conditions while using the ambient as fill . Moving into high speed sync is almost a guarantee of inadequate power assuming your equipment supports it . Shooting in variable lighting . You could put it in shutter priority at 1200 , but you might suddenly find yourself at f 1 . 4 and 90 % of your image is out of focus . Better to leave it at f 5 . 6 and let the ISO take care of itself . If there ' s a way to set an IFTHEN structure on my D 750 , I ' m all ears , but until then I use manual and autoISO .
