Canon 40D ISO Expansion ???

I recently purchased a Canon 40D. Before buying, I borrowed a friends and set the ISO to 3200 using the custom function setting. Now that I have my camera, I am unable to get the ISO to expand to 3200. I set the custom function setting (ISO Expansion - "ON"), but the camera will still only go to 1600. I am shooting in Manual mode, with a 70-200mm 2.8L. I was shooting at a gymnastic meet this weekend (no flash allowed). It was like a cave in the gym, in order to get even a remotely acceptable exposure, I couldn't shoot any faster than 1/90 (needless to say all of my pictures were taken during poses in the routines). Am I missing something?? Are there other settings I need to change? I know the 3200 ISO will give me a lot of noise, but I just wanted to play with it. Thanks for your help.

Once you have enabled the custom function you will be able to select 'H' which is 3200ISO
I shot this last week using my 40D also set to 3200 ISO. I was amazed at how little noise was actually on the image
Thank you so much!!! That was the case. It was driving me crazy.
Scotto - thanks for posting the picture. I'm anxious to see what the ISO 3200 can do, looks good.

Yeah, i did the same thing! I should have asked here as that would have saved me some time and frustration.
Thank you, I've been trying to figure out what I did different. I had High ISO then I didn't I did not think I had changed anything but I did.
Thank you again I looked through the manual but did not see any answers. I should have checked the forum sooner.

also helps to shoot in RAW and use noise reduction with PS layer masks
