Excellent - and thanks for the heads-up Joe. No change to the size of focus points yet but it looks like things are looking up!
Great to hear about this update:clap:
So there is no way to shoot Aperture mode with Auto ISO and fixing the minim required shutter speed?The only way that I'm currently aware of to set minimum shutter speed is to select shutter priority mode and set the speed. I usually shoot aperture priority, select a maximum ISO (with the new firmware), and let the shutter speed "float". Ideally, I would like to have the ability to set the minimum shutter speed when using Auto ISO rather than have the camera use an algorithm (based on the lens focal length perhaps) to make that determination. There may be others who have explored this question further who can contribute to this thread.

I can't find a default. It doesn't look like in chases the fastest shutter speed. I set max ISO to 3200. I used A mode in a medium lit room. f3.5 The camera set shutter speed at 1/60th at ISO 1600. Then I pointed to a darker art of the room. Shutter dropped to 1/40th and ISO stayed at 1600. Then i aimed at a lamp. ISO went down to 400, shutter speed only went up to 1/60. Not ideal logic. But I'm sure we will get minimum shutter speed for auto ISO and better logic in a future firmware release.So there is no way to shoot Aperture mode with Auto ISO and fixing the minim required shutter speed?
My understanding was that it was coming in new firmware
could you please tell us what is the default shutter speed the camera choose with the 45 mm and 90mm
Thank you !!!
Yes, it should not be that difficult to follow Nikon's lead here.All Hasselblad has to do is to buy a D800/D810 and check how auto-ISO is implemented, it is the best implementation available.
- Availability of auto-ISO in M mode
- In A mode, selection of max ISO, minimum shutter speed
- Possibility to automatially link minimal shutter speed to lens actual focal length (including for zoom lenses) and to bias that with -2/-1/+1/+2 stops
The only thing missing is to take into account the VR availability/activation...
I hope they improve the H6D-100c the same way also.

Hi believe that Nick has already shared this comment to Hasselblad also. Now some of that algo may be patented, I don't know?I specifically requested Nikon's auto-ISO algorithm in my note to Ove. He didn't acknowledge it, but said the low and high ISO settings are "at least a start." This is the kind of thing that should be pretty easy to add to an FPGA firmware, as opposed to eye tracking or something super computational. If more people request it, I imagine they'll respond.
I thought Sony had the same basic functionality in the A7rII.Hi believe that Nick has already shared this comment to Hasselblad also. Now some of that algo may be patented, I don't know?
The value of what Nikon did is so great and so obvious that I find it puzzling that not all the other camera manufacturers have followed suit.

1. The Auto ISO only appears to work when the camera is set to a fully automatic mode where the camera sets its own ideas as to aperture, shutter speed and ISO.Until they get that implemented, can't you just shoot in manual and set your aperture and shutter speed and let the ISO float? I know it's not exactly what you are asking for, but it's hopefully close enough for now. While it may seem easy to do, I'm sure they were trying to get this firmware version out ASAP. I'm more disappointed that the XH adapter won't have aF implemented from the start, but glad they are releasing firmware as things are available, instead of waiting for everything at once. The peaking will really help in manual focus as a guide to which direction you are going and what's in focus.
