Description

ISO 100 and ISO 25600 cannot be set

Solution

 

If you set [ : Highlight tone priority ] in the [C.Fn II] menu to [1: Enable] on your camera, the settable ISO range will be limited to ISO 200-12800 (6400 during movie shooting), so "ISO 100" cannot be selected.

 

 

The [D+] icon will be displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder when highlight tone priority is enabled.

 

 

To make the "ISO 100" or "H"(equivalent to ISO 25600 for still images or 12800 for movies) setting (ISO expansion), change the setting as follows.

  • With setting [1: Enable], the Auto Lighting Optimizer is automatically set to [Disable] and the setting cannot be changed.
