Hi frogcement,

If you set iso 80 and increase manualy back to 0, yours image will overexposed.

When set iso 16, Av will auto down to -3, and at iso 16 image will too too bright, loss details if increase Av comp to 0.

Great, thanks for the info. I don't see any improvement below ISO 80.
And it might just be wishful thinking that ISO 80 is better than ISO100.
Another question. What exactly does the testfir.fir do? I assume it's just an add on to the current loaded firware, correct? Where can I find the source code for testfir.fir?
Thanks,
Keith

hi guys quick question,
  normally when you increase the ISO, the file size goes up.
 i.e the same picture at 1600 vs 100 ISO will be much larger. This then results in the remaining free space picture count to go down when you increase the ISO, yet this is not true when I switch from ISO 1600 to lets say ISO 3200. In fact the remaining number of pictures goes up. But when I download the image, the ISO 3200 is actually about 1mb bigger than the ISO 1600 picture.
   I also noticed that the file size under ISO 100 doesn't change.
   In compared all the images at all possible ISO and noticed that all ISOs under 100 dont make a difference. In my opinion this option is unnecessary and I think we should be looking at other things to change, not lowering the ISO.

 Anyways amazing jobs guys, you just made my old 400d 10 times better!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!

thaibv:

actually i found it's quite easy to active the hidden iso value.
i tried to set the hidden iso value (even they are not listed in menu) with PC software based on EDSDK,
it works fine. no firmware modification required.
i've tesed 350d with iso from 6 - 3200, all iso <= 1600 are worked, but 3200 not.
i guess some firmware hack is needed to extend the high iso.

i'm keep working with 350d.
cheers!

Well.. the size goes up because higher iso values have more noise and noise is much more difficult to compress.
At low ISOs the noise is almost absent so the size won't change a bit.

Yes - but the remaining pictures goes up, if you use ISO 3200 or 2000 instead of 1600....
