Re: R7 flash question

I don't shoot flash much, but I have noticed some interesting choices the camera has made for ISO with flash. Example below: I shot one of my daughter and two fellow cosplayers at a local convention. I bounced the EL-100 behind me in a corner. The result was pretty good, but I noticed the camera choose ISO 4000 for the shot. I was using P mode, to keep it simple. My RP never selected any ISO higher than 1600 with flash, but I noticed a couple of weeks ago, in M mode, 1/200 a second, I got a flash photo at ISO 6400. Is there a new flash system being used by the R7? Not complaining about the results, but I am curious.

Not a bad pic at all!

I'd pick the ISO when I am bouncing a flash. Or as had been commented by others, go full manual. The EL-100 works great with both my R6Mii and the R7, btw.
