I noticed today that my ISO starts at 200. I cannot roll it back so I went in to the ISO function to set it to 100-12,800. After I hit the OK button, I notice it stays at the 200 limit. What did I do to make this happen? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.........

Your Highlight Priority may be on. That's when ISO starts from 200

If it is like other (lesser) Canon bodies, the ISO is displayed as 2oo when HTP is engaged, 200 when it is not. No access to 100 is a big hint, too.

highlight priority. Camera will preserve the highlights better, although it comes with a little more noise in the shadows.

Maureen, D+ is Canon's shorthand notation for Highlight Tone Priority(HTP). It is used both on the top LCD panel and in the viewfinder when it is activated:

These are indicators that HTP(D+) is activated, and you can glance at them on the fly.:)

Thanks for the info. Amazing what I DON'T use on this camera but still manage to get stellar shots. :) So much of it is just ridiculous to me. I wonder how much of all those little options most folks use.....

That was the indication used a few years ago, on cameras like the 40D. Now the D+ icon is used.

Good to know. I learn something new everyday from POTN posts. I thought HTP option was only available on midrange to high end bodies. Happy to know that my entry level camera (T2i) has HTP option too.
