⑸ISO speed
As with the EOS 30D, the ISO speed range is 100-1600, settable in 1/3-stop or whole-
stop increments. ISO 3200 extension can also be set. The ISO speed is now always
displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel.
●Auto ISO speed enabled in Creative Zone modes
With the EOS 40D, you can now set auto ISO speed
even in the Creative Zone modes (Fig. 004). When
the ISO speed is set to [Auto], ISO 400 is initially set.
Then depending on the lighting conditions, the ISO
speed is set automatically as shown in Table 003.
The automatically-set ISO speed is displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel
while the metering is active.
In the Basic Zone modes, the automatically-set ISO speed range is 100-800 which is
1 stop higher on the high end than the EOS 30D.
