Auto-ISO capability is now pretty much universal, yet even in the newest Panasonic flagship cameras the Auto-ISO function is hampered by poor implementation.

This prevents us (the photographers) from fully taking advantage of our cameras as tools for both professional and hobby use. 

We respectively request that Panasonic implement the following firmware changes, which would further our commitment to the Panasonic brand:

-Auto ISO In Manual Exposure Mode with full exposure compensation

(Adjusting the ISO when exposure compensation is used in Manual mode)

-Ability to set a minimum shutter speed in Aperture Priority mode

(With an ability to set a range of Shutter Speeds all the way up to a minimum of 1/750 second) 

-The ability to use Auto-ISO in manual mode in any Video mode with full exposure compensation. 

---

Other camera manufacturers have taken note (Nikon, Fujifilm, Pentax) and have implemented these requested features.

Many publications, commentators, and scores of forums threads have commented and requested these features. Here are just a few:

"This issue also applies to exposure compensation. Some camera makers disable the compensation control when the aperture and shutter speed are set manually. No. This is not good."

"In manual mode, the shutter speed and the aperture are measured values and should not shift from the values you set. So in Manual mode with Auto ISO, I would expect the EC dial to affect the ISO."
