Good afternoon (in Philly, anyway), During a shoot this morning, my K-5 suddenly wouldn’t let me set the ISO to 100, which is my usual setting The lowest it will go is 200. Different lenses, freshly charged battery, and lots of fiddling and owner’s manual reading haven’t corrected the problem. Any ideas? Rick

Thanks, Bill. That got the minimum ISO to 160. It should be 80.

what do you have the mode set to?   maybe you accidentaly turned the mode dial ?  not every setting will let you go down to 80 - ann On 1/26/2023 1:50 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > Thanks, Bill.

Exploring on my K5... Having highlight correction (under D-Range setting) turned on lifts the minimum ISO from 80 to 160. With ISO set to 160, and turning highlight correction OFF, ISO automagically set itself to 200. Hope this helps.

Strange, my K5 doesn't have ISO 80 at all. The lowest I get is 100. Turning the back wheel with ISO button pressed the next step from 100 is 200. I'm on firmware 1.16 which is the latest.
