I use a Canon 400 and 40D. I understand that I can set the ISO at 3200. However, I notice that 1600 is the max setting I can get. Can anyone please tell me how I can change the setting to 3200.

You have to turn it on in your custom functions. It's #8 on the 30D. When it's on you get an 'H' for the 3200 setting.

Hi Andy thanks for your kind help once again. I have found it.

Hi Will, I haven't used it yet on my 40D. I was using my MPE 65 before and at 5:1 I had to go up to ISO 1600 and I didn't know how to select 3200. That is why I put this thread on. I don't really know what circumstances I would need to use 3200. However, I have the 'H' showing which is equivalent to 3200 if I ever have to use it.

When shooting macros, why not use flash, instead of higher ISOs? This will improve the images in so many ways.
Flash will really help immobilize moving objects, and allow much smaller apertures. It is easy to have flash be a diffused light source as a flash head with a mild diffusion screen is so much larger than a macro subject being shot at 5 to 1 with an MPE 65.
This was taken like my first day with the camera.

Handheld, no IS. both f/2.8 @1/50

First is the price. Second, I don't need the 9fps in fx-format. Third, it has a self-cleaning sensor and I like the idea of this. Fourth, it is WAAAAYYY smaller than the D3 and I don't feel like lugging that thing around everywhere. Fifth, it appears to have very good low-light shooting capabilities. Sixth, it's got the same metering system as the D3. I could go on....
Anyway, saving for this beauty is in the works (I am half way there), but I can't wait!!!

I have to admit the size of the D3 frightens me. I had to get the smaller macbookpro because the 17"steel chassy beauty was too heavy. The D80 fits me hands fairly well [which was one reason I went nikon over canon]. Price is a factor. By the time I'm ready to buy another camera body we might be on D5. I need lenses and everything first. Like a tripod.
I just shot this the other day at the county fair. 3200, f2.8, 1/30. The Jpg was shrunk to fit the constraints of a direct upload, and size. But It still looks pretty good for 3200.
Remember though, it doesn't mean you get the luxury of the thirds between 16 and 3200. It just boosts the sensor. And I wouldn't shoot it frequently. Only do it if you have no other choice (IMO). I try to shoot at the lowest ISO possible, and I rarely use 3200.
It also slows down the continuous mode and limits how many you can fire continuously

I am sure you are right Alan. I have looked through all the custom functions and I cannot see it. Which heading is yours under?

I think it's great. Never afraid to use it.
