Cameras can do a lot, but there are still plenty of features that are missing from a majority of new models. We think every manufacturer should add these 12 features to their upcoming cameras.

Auto ISO is a feature that I, and many others, use very often. I’d estimate that 95% of my shooting is in either aperture priority or manual mode with auto ISO.an auto minimum shutter speed or a specific minimum speed. Frankly, this makes it entirely worthless. OM System and Panasonic, I’m looking at you.

With today’s incredible in-body image stabilization in most camera systems , it’s an absolute shame to waste the potential of auto ISO. It’s one of the worst things about my amazing— if there were a single feature I could add, it would be this one. I have a camera with arguably the best IBIS out there, yet I can’t make full use of it in aperture priority mode.

I shoot almost entirely with the EVF for composition and review images and use the camera’s menu with the LCD. Using a camera in this way allows me to get well over 1,500 images on a single charge with my Nikon Z7 — and I rarely take more than a single photo of anything, and I never do bursts unless I’m shooting wildlife. It’s also a lot nicer not to have a distracting LCD screen on when I’m just walking around.

Of note, Panasonic, and possibly others, have this feature in a workaround: set the camera to auto-switch and then press the DISP button until the LCD turns black but remains working for playback/menu. The only problem is that it resets every time you power down the camera.One of the nice things about digital photography is how easily we can adjust, manipulate, and fine-tune colors in an image to our liking.
