Hey people
I'm wondering... My 40D is currently firmware version 1.1.1
With version 1.0.8 i seem to recall that my iso settings in P, Tv, Av and M modes went from 100 to H(3200) with iso expansion enabled.
At the moment i can only set the camera's ISO value to Auto, 200, 400, 800 and 1600.(set for 1 stop increments) ISO 100 and H is not availible even though that ISO expansion is enabled.
Have anyone noticed the same issue?
Would it help if i whiped the user settings and set it up from scrap?
It'd suck if i had to use iso 200 and underexpose by 1 step to get iso 100

Update,
Clearing the custom functions seemed to help.
After i reset the functions and enabled iso expansion, i could access H and 100 again.
Seems like the 1.0.8 -> 1.1.1 manifested a bug in the camera.


EDIT:
My bad, it seems like Highlight Tone Priority is the culprit.
With that enabled you dont have access to iso 100 and 3200.

Highlight Tone Priority was enabled after firmware update.

i did flash the not official firmware some time ago and did not find your issue

check your custom functions
you might have your iso set to 1-stops as oppose to 1/3 stops, you also have highlight tone set on.

if you are really unsure, clear all of your custom functions and start again

HTP enabled will show ISO numbers as 1oo, 2oo, etc..
Letter o, instead of digit zero 0.
