From the manual:
--------------------------------------------------------------
If [Off] (the default setting) is chosen for the [ISO sensitivity auto
control] option in the shooting menu, ISO sensitivity will remain
fixed at the value selected by the user (see page 96). If [On] is
chosen, ISO sensitivity will automatically be adjusted if optimal
exposure can not be achieved at the value selected by the user
(flash level is adjusted appropriately). The maximum value for
auto ISO sensitivity can be selected using the [Maximum
sensitivity] option in the [ISO sensitivity auto control] menu (the
minimum value for auto ISO sensitivity is automatically set to ISO
200). In exposure modes P and A, sensitivity will only be adjusted if
underexposure would result at the shutter speed selected for
[Minimum shutter speed]. Slower shutter speeds may be used if
optimum exposure can not be achieved at the ISO sensitivity value
selected for [Maximum sensitivity].
When [On] is selected, the control panel
and viewfinder show ISO-AUTO. When
sensitivity is altered from the value selected
by the user, these indicators blink and the
altered value is shown in the viewfinder.
Auto ISO Sensitivity Control
Noise is more likely at higher sensitivities. Use the [High ISO NR] option in
the shooting menu to reduce noise (see page 263). Foreground subjects
may be underexposed in photos taken with the flash at slow shutter
speeds, in daylight, or against a bright background. Choose a flash mode
other than slow sync or select exposure mode A or M and choose a larger
aperture.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
menu offers a range of minimum shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/250 second.

I see no reason why auto-ISO is required for this, or even why it would
be beneficial. But then, I never use auto-ISO, even when shooting
eagles.

Could you go into M mode, set the shutter and aperture you want, and let
the camera adjust the ISO to get the exposure right? I _think_ auto-ISO
works in M mode, but I'm not entirely sure. Might be worth testing, in
any event.

Wow, you can handhold a 500mm at 1/60th and capture action as well. I'd like
to see that.
On second thoughts, no I wouldn't!
