It's somewhat ironic because ease of use is meant to be one of the D3200's key selling points. Another frustration is that the speed chosen by the Auto ISO system is only visible when using live view, and doesn’t appear in the information shown below the viewfinder. It's also unclear how the various ISO speed controls relate to each other. Switching Auto ISO on or off still takes anything up to 20 button pushes.
It's a useful improvement, but it's a shame that Nikon didn’t take the opportunity to redesign the layout of the ISO speed controls. This set the threshold to 1/30s for wide-angle shots with the 18-55mm kit lens, but raised it to 1/100s for telephoto shots. The D3200 addresses this with an Auto option for the minimum shutter speed setting. However, it doesn't allow for the fact that it's harder to avoid camera shake at longer focal lengths. Nikon's SLRs were the first to offer a customisable Auto ISO mode, letting the user set thresholds for shutter and ISO speed for precise control over the camera's behaviour in diminishing light.
