Hi all,

I just purchased a 2nd hand WB750 to complement my EX1. From what I've seen so far, it appears that auto ISO is limited to 400, just as it is on the EX1.

But where the latter has a super-fast lens to make sure ISO 400 is enough in most circumstances, the WB750 either uses a verrrrry slow shutter speed (I've seen up to 1 second so far, in a moderately dimly lit room) or uses flash, which I don't like either.

I'd much rather see it use ISO 800 or even 1600, but it doesn't seem to agree with me, and setting ISO manually isn't really quick either. Are there any workarounds, or will I just have to accept that it's a bit of a PITA to use in low light?

If it uses the same FW as the EX1 which I suspect it does, then the only way around this is to set it to the Dual IS mode, but I am not sure if that is a permanent solution.

The limited FW in the samsung cameras really is a pain and needs to addressed immediately if they are going to remain competitive.
