OK. I've tried following the steps in the manual (p 49) for setting the ISO (I want to try 800 or 1600 in very low light to see the results) and my camera continues to display 100 as though it were mocking me.
I turned to "P" (in the Creative Zone p 18), pressed the Drive-ISO button. 100 displayed in the LCD monitor and I turned the dial on the back of the camera first one direction and then the other to no avail. I set the ISO Expansion (in the menu) to ON and retried this same procedure with similar results. Am I just missing something?
Thanks,
Kevin

Make sure the "Quick Dial" On/Off switch is turned on (IMHO, it is a useless switch that should have been the power on/off switch!)
I always leave the QuickDial enabled, and will sometimes accidentally bump the power on/off switch (which is why I said the Quick Dial on/off switch should have been the power switch, and the power switch just eliminated. :-)

| Kevin, I don't have my EOS-10D in front of me, but I seem to recall that the ISO setting is changed using the top dial, not the dial on the back of the camera. Each of those buttons is dual function (in this case, Drive Mode and ISO Setting). One of the functions is controlled with the top dial, and the other function with the back dial. You probably already know this, but I didn't catch on right away. Hope this helps. Enjoy the wonderful camera. |

James:
The "Main Dial" on the top of the camera always corresponds to the first item listed on the buttons. So for the "Drive/ISO" button, the "Main Dial" (on the top of the camera) selects the drive mode (single shot, continuous, self-timer) and the "Quick Dial" (on the back of the camera) adjusts the ISO. |

I don't have my 10D in front of me either. I think you have to turn the button to "on" on the side of the wheel in back. Try that. Seems to me I went through the same issue as you. By the way ... ISO 800 is very good, and ISO 1600 is very usable. Good luck.

With a 50-50 chance of choosing the right dial, there's a 95% probability I'll choose the wrong one. Thanks for the tip. |

| ISO expansition just gives you H, or 3200 speed. I regularly switch ISO when I am going for different looks (I like to think that film user just can play with time and F-stops while in the field, and digital users can also play with which ISO they want) Really important when moving from inside to shade to bright and sunny. Strange I half remember using the top smaller dial but I could be wrong. Tis not quite habit yet. |

That was it. I had unintentionally turned off the dial on the back.
Thanks,
Kevin
