A function that I would love was if you could have a auto iso mode that only went a number of stops from the one you set up in manual mode. So you could enable this mode and set a auto iso range in +-stops from the one you have selected. This would be great in combination with a mechanical iris in situation with extremely wearying light.

Would it be easier to make this work if you set it all up in the menu and then just set the iso at auto iso mode? Like if I set up iso 640 in the magic lantern menu with a autoiso range of +-1 stop? (320-1250iso) and then the auto iso would be restricted to this range?

The user interface is not a problem; the backend is.

The bleeding edge (if you compile from source) has smooth ISO transitions and other tricks that would help here - but manual, not auto.
