At first I too had the ISO warning set at 400. The result was that it was visible so much, that I ended noticing it, because I got used to it. Now I've set it at 800, and it works as intended, it's a real warning for me.

Unless I forget to turn it back to 200 after the presumed good reason to have it cranked up higher, it's always at 200. I've got my ISO warning set so that it indicates anything other than 200. Unfortunately, I often don't notice the warning. One shot I'm kicking myself on is from my trip to Southeast Alaska a few weeks ago. Anchored up fishing and caught a bunch of whales bubble-feeding. The first few spectacular moment shots were at ISO800 from the previous night. -Cory -- ************************************************************************* * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * *************************************************************************
