I am a relatively new user of an EOS IV. A few days ago, I exposed a roll of
Kodak Elitechrome 100 using a variety of lenses and a variety of modes -
manual (with flash), and AV (with and without fill - in flash).
On return from the processor, the whole film was found to be grossly
underexposed. I sent it back to the processor for analysis and he said that
it appears to have been properly developed but around 3 stops underexposed.
I used auto film speed setting on the camera. The day I received the film
back, I had another roll processed locally, a roll exposed immediately after
the underexposed one. The exposure was OK.
Can anyone offer an explanation for this degree of underexposure ?
(e.g. some setting I might inadvertantly have altered ?).

One thought, did you double-check your ISO manually when you loaded the
Elite 100?
Perhaps the contacts are not reading the DX coding correctly.
Or perhaps the ISO setting is locked into say ISO 400? Just an idea.
Sometimes if I set ISO manually to say 640, then put in a roll without DX
coding
(a bulk loaded roll would not have DX) it would remain at 640.
