Have you/we/I been using Aperture Priority wrong this entire time?

I have Aperture Priority, at least I used to. Now I use it all the time. So what changed? A deep dive in the camera's menu system and a little bit fo understanding.

    I've been using Av since it was the only automatic setting possible for film Nikons like the F3 and FE2, and was the A setting. Canon's only automatic setting on their AE-1 cameras was Tv, shutter speed priority, but marked A, just like Nikon. Anyway I'd get some abuse from manually shooting photographers (and I still do). My thought was that A (Av) was faster to adjust to changing light than I was. I frequently used Av for outside sports, always paid attention to the shutter speed, and subsequently had no problems. The solution to working dumb seems to me to be easily fixed by working smart. When digital raised its ugly head I continued to use Av along with M. On my professional Canon 1D cameras I modified the control setting so only Av and M were available. I could get from Av to M without having to go by settings I never used. I changed that in the last year to now include B. I NEVER use Tv or auto ISO. My reasoning is that when aperture changes, the depth of field changes and so the image changes. And it changes without my supervision. With Av - and as long as I don't get stupid and let the shutter speed get too low - the difference between 1/1000 and 1/2000 is negligible. I didn't want to use variable ISO as that would mean that I had to separate images based on ISO so that the right noise reduction for the specific ISO was used. Although noise suppression is a lot better now with both cameras and post production apps, it wasn't then. More to the point I didn't have post production time when my stuff was needed for deadline.

    What is your ISO? 1/10 is slow for action and hand holding your camera, so I would expect it was blurring. If your ISO is not set to Auto, the shutter speed will drop no matter what you have it set at in the menu.

    Great question, and I only have an answer in theory. I will say you would need a trigger on camera that work with TTL. But, you are still going to get the camera to meter what it see "pre-flash", so it might give radically different results. I will try this next time I am out, but since I am using a different system, I don't know if I will have a definitive answer.

    Great question Scott, and I am going to come off as a total snob when I say that, "I only shoot Sony lenses". So I am not really sure. I would say yes, since focal length and shutter speed at all being transmitted to the camera. The easiest way to tell is to attach you Tamron and set it up as directed in the video. If you zoom in or out, or the lighting amount changes, you should see the shutter speed change in this mode as your change the focal length, and it should never drop under a certain amount, say 1/125th if you are zoomed in at 85mm and the setting is at "Faster".

    The firs question is, what is your MAX ISO setting when you are in Auto ISO? That might be too low. The other thing it could be is that you are just shooting in very dark situations, and the camera is just trying to make a picture. 1/250th is a pretty fast shutter speed, so you will need a lot of ISO or a low aperture to make that happen in darker conditions.

    The shutter speed will change, like it normally would in Aperture Priority Mode, but what Minimum Shutter Speed does is not allow the shutter speed to drop past a certain point, based on the lens you are using. So if you are shooting on a 50mm lens, and set it to Fast, the Shutter Speed will probably not drop bellow 1/60th of a second. It will be different for every lens, and the setting you make, Slow, Fast, etc.

    Great question. I have two answers for you. The easy, but bit of a cop out solution, is just to go all manual. It sounds like you might have a specific look you want, and you certainly don't want the shutter speed to change. The other is to get out of auto ISO, and turn off this feature, which I honestly think is more complicated that just dumping the camera into all manual mode.
