After reading a few of your posts about motion blur, I tried capping Auto ISO at 3200 and setting minimum shutter to 1/250 on my A6400, and it finally stopped turning my kid’s living-room sprints into smears. Anyone else juggling grain vs. blur - do you stick with Auto ISO or ride the exposure comp instead?
I stick with Auto ISO and ride exposure comp in small steps (usually -0.3 to +0.7) rather than fiddling the ISO cap mid-shoot; 6400 is my ceiling on the A6400 and it cleans up fine. If there’s a bright window I start at -0.3 to save highlights, and for flat light I’ll go +0.3 and sometimes bump min shutter to 1/320 for full-on sprints.
@ebryant91 I keep Auto ISO but turn on Face Priority in Multi Metering on my A6400 so it meters for the kid’s face instead of bright walls — ISO spikes less and 1/320 stays sharp; have you tried that?
Try turning on “Anti-flicker Shoot” on the A6400; it syncs exposures to indoor lights so 1/250 stays consistent and you’re not chasing sudden brightness shifts — small caveat: a hair of shutter lag and slower bursts; do your living‑room LEDs flicker?
