I have a burning quesion with regards to auto-ISO selection by D300 in P and A mode. I have set the default ISO as 200 and max ISO to be 1600. On several occasions and many times, the camera like to choose the max ISO 1600 even if it is relatively bright. I am using matrix metering.
Example: Beach shot of my son playing sands with no direct sunlight (f22, 1/250s, ISO1600 in P mode) and outdoor building with sunlight (f16, 1/1000s ISO1600).
Wondering if any D300 users have similar encounters/experience as I am not sure if it was due to some other settings on the camera affecting this behaviour.
