As I posted in another thread the EX2f shares the same problem. I think the firmware on these cameras probably needs a complete rewrite from scratch to solve these problems as there seems to be so much interaction with the routines blocking each other in the menu. I cannot see Samsung fixing this problem in firmware upgrades. You will just have to force the ISO manually.

One thing I noticed on one of the reviews is that in smart mode the EX2 will go to ISO 800 which does work and this may be the same for the WB750.

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?
