X2D: no auto ISO in M mode?

Is there any way to turn on auto ISO in M mode? That's the way many photographers (including me) prefer to shoot. Hopefully they can add this option in a firmware update.

No, Hasselblad cameras do not have Auto-ISO in M mode. You may contact Hasselblad and request it.
Note: if X2D has dual conversion gain, then using Auto-ISO, while convenient, can lead to suboptimal IQ.
I like to use Auto-ISO in M mode.

My dealer sent the request to Hasselblad. Seems odd that they wouldn’t at least offer the option in M mode, given that it’s present as an option in other modes.

It has never been like it. Expect resistance like the LENR topic with Leica cameras :cool:
The latest Leica cameras (SL2 and M11) allow turning LENR off. Maybe Hasselblad can also change :). However, I would appreciate a live histogram more than Auto-ISO in M mode.
