Looking back at this thread, I'm not sure that we ever truly addressed your concerns, but the whole question of "settings" involves more than just one dial. The internal programming of a modern camera is a fairly complex automatron that is very hard for one person to fully comprehend, but we can steer it to the behavior we want via the "settings". "Settings" is a whole collection of values set at various points, some things on visible dials and some things on not-so-visible menus. My thinking is that the behavior you are seeing is a result of the whole collection of "settings", and you might see different results under a different collection. For example, the menu setting for ISO can be either a specific value or an allowed range. Most likely the "settings" you were working under included the menu item which allowed ISO to be almost anything; perhaps if you reset the ISO to be only at 200 or lower, you would see the behavior you want without your having to do anything else.
