Unless you're using Sensitivity Coercion, you can use the "ISO
Snstvty Wrn Dspl" (ISO Sensitivity Warning Display) custom function
to light a warning in the viewfinder when the camera is set to a
value over a threshold. I have this set to ISO 800 ... the warning
lights up whenever the ISO has been set to 800 or greater.
(It's disabled when Sensitivity Coercion is on: no warning light will
appear if the ISO is bounced up by the camera in response to low
light conditions. I suspect this is because the Sensitivity Coercion
function implies that you've already said "everything up to such and
such limit is fine by me".)

always know the EI I'm using - usually I'll put a sticker on the

the day.
With the digi I sometimes forget to change the ISO rating, so I
might be in
a 200 ISO mindset but forget that the camera is set for something
else. To
my simple brain these new cameras are sometimes overwhelming.

Shel, I have noticed you set ISO to high'ish 800 value... I guess you
like the ability to change sensitivity of your "film" on the go.
