This "problem" with TAv mode has been discussed on a number of forums. The user manual on pg 42 states "The ISO speed will be locked to [Auto] when in TAv mode.". As you noted, this is not how the camera actually operates. As things stand now there is no lock or limit except the max ISO of the camera. Some believe the camera operates correctly, and the manual is incorrect. Others, myself included, are convinced that the manual is correct and that TAv mode is essentially useless without a lock. Also, I would go so far as to say that [Auto} should be expanded at user's setting beyond 800 to either 1600 or maybe 3200. The 800 was appropriate in previous models due to small sensor size, but with the GR's sensor size there is no reason to limit auto to 800. I, and some others, are hoping that a firmware update will "correct" what we see as a problem. Hope that clears things up.
