a6700 has 2nd native iso at 2500, maybe someone more technical can answer if this applies to photos?
It seems like the high gain kicks in at ISO 320. If you look at the Claff charts the APS-C crop of the a7rV and 6700 are almost exactly the same, though you can see the non-monotonic respose in the curve better in FF mode.
You have to copy the whole link.

My daughters are off to Japan for the oldest daughter’s graduation. When she turned 21 I gave her an A6700, a few lenses and a Godox IT30Pro. She has taken a dozen images in the intervening ten months. Now she wants a brief bit of instruction. I’ve got her sorted with auto-ISO and exposure compensation and I think I will just have her use Auto mode when using flash and an understanding of flash exposure compensation. My question for A6700 owners is, what should I set as the highest ISO to be used in Auto-ISO mode?
I’d stick to the camera’s full native ISO range (not the expanded ISO range.)
The so-called “acceptable ISO limits” discussion is academic and mainly informs choice of which camera to use (FF / MF / APSC) which lens to pick for the situation (f/1.4, f/2.8, f/4) and whether or not to use on camera flash or to setup strobes
Once the equipment choice is locked in, the priority is simply to shoot each subject as well as you can and not worry too much about the ISO the camera ends up using. At that stage, the ISO is basically a fait accompli, the consequence of the available light and the gear you brought.
Teach them how to use aperture priority, how to use the brightest aperture in poor light, and how to set "auto iso min SS" differently for good light and poor light.

I did this to a certain extent. Memory 1 is daylight shooting and 2 low light and then I setup a video preset. That’s the best I could do. Theyv’e been in Japan for a couple of days now.. so no time for more ‘training”.
