Anybody had this problem with K-x. Cannot get ISO range and bottom number set at ISO 200. Have had to go into Menu and reset to Default settings to then access ISO range and bottom number to ISO 200. BUT once I go in and change any settings like Custom menu, such as increased Sharpening, Hue etc. and then go back to Capture mode in AV etc. the ISO range is now 400 and above and will not go to ISO 200 unless I start over by Reset to Default. The camera is brand new..and this is an aggravating problem. Any ideas?

You have to turn highlight correction off.

Custom Menu 1...Dynamic Range...make sure HC is unchecked.

That should work.

But if it does not, try shooting in full manual. I think this is the only mode anyone should ever shoot in. You will have full range of the ISO (you can expand this range from 100 -12800 in the menu if you choose so), full control over aperture and full control over shutter speed. This will help you tremendously in bettering yourself and not relying on the camera.

I'm not so brilliant--I learned that from someone here too.
