Look out for auto ISO
I was thinking the same exact thing! Got burned by that once--switched to Aperture mode once while out and about, camera chose ISO 2000, and kept it when I went back manual in the studio.
Was puzzled by how differently I seemed to need to set up the AB800 than normal for a bit, how much I needed to stop down. Figured it out, check ISO every time I turn the camera on now. Don't trust that it will still be where I left it.
I'm thinking I generally keep my ISO at 200 but of course I am now second guessing myself! Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming. Am emailing a photo shortly. Will tag it with the same name as above. Coreen
Yep--I keep mine at 200, also. It changed out from under me--I didn't change it directly. Depending on your camera, you can disable Auto ISO completely, or set an upper limit on it. I had seldom ever used Aperture Priority mode, almost always on full manual. So when I went to aperture priority, it went off and yanked the ISO. Then when I went back to manual, it held the ISO 2000, did not return to 200. Since I had never touched ISO, I assumed it was and had been where I left it. Check the exif on your problematic shots. And check your menu settings related to auto iso...... This could be the issue.
