I suppose it's a semantics issue. My argument was that it was comical and an oxymoron to have an "Auto" function in "Full Manual". But I can see value in having Auto-ISO while retaining manual control of shutter and aperture. THAT makes sense to me, I would just prefer it to be another setting on the wheel. I'd settle for it being in the menu as an option, I guess. I would never use it.
Ozpeter: I know Manual is not just about controlling exposure, that it offers control of motion blur and depth-of-field. But ISO is directly related to exposure. And again, to the camera, Auto wants to make everything 18% neutral gray. It isn't intelligent enough to know whether it's looking at something bright or dark. It doesn't know the artistic intention of what I'm trying to do. So Auto ISO has no value to me in a normal filmmaking environment. I will control things by other means. In a "run and gun" situation, it may have value, although, like Phil Jackson said, I don't want my camera to get fooled by passing car headlights, etc.
