Auto-iso on Pentax K-7

consiglieri · 11-27-2009, 01:26 AM

Hi
I've newly acquired the new Pentax K-7.
However one thing bothers me. In the manual it says that the auto iso settings can go from as low as 100 iso, however I cannot get the settings to go lower than iso 200.

I this a matter of a print error in the manual?
I have the 18-55 mm kit lens on the camera.

Are the camera set on extended dynamic range (DR 200)?
In that case it won´t go lower than 200.

Yup, that was entirely right I had DR on. Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated

Not at all. K-7 sensor does ISO 100!

Actually, it was:

K-x does expanded ISO 100, and that option was on. So the problem was the same as this thread.
