EX2F ISO 12800 menu weirdness

Not a surprise, but I found another strange menu glitch with the EX2F - latest firmware.

I was testing various ISO's in RAW using f2.8 in A mode.  I was using the Fn menu to select the ISO but found that 12800 was greyed out and could not be selected. However, if I pressed OK while the Fn ISO box was highlighted, the ISO list displayed 12800 as selectable.  So I selected it.  Sure enough I was able to take a shot (at 3MP).

However, after that I tried using the Fn menu to turn OFF 12800 and found that the ISO box was totally greyed-out!  I couldn't select ISO at all from the Fn menu.

I then went to the normal menu where I could still access the ISO settings and return to Auto-ISO.  Then the Fn menu returned to normal.

Yes... I turned off my image adjustments (-1 contrast, -1 sharp) but that made no difference for ISO availability.

Samsung's software QA is truly tragic.

Nevertheless... I really like this camera! 

Shooting in RAW it's really quite a good camera.  All that nasty color noise that comes through in the marginal JPEG engine is easily knocked out in Lightroom and what your left with is actually very good at reasonable speeds.
