i have seen mention of using is0 320 on this camera. How would i select it? i only see options for normal increments by hitting the iso button. i.e 100, 200, 400

Even my sx50 has the inbetween increments.

It's not supported on the Rebel line. That flexibility is reserved for the xxD and higher dSLRs.
 
and yet i can on my powershot sx50. Seems incredible.

Yes, high end Compact vs low end dSLR.

I cans also do it on my S100 but not the 450D.

Is there a specific reason you need to use ISO 320?

I can assure you that setting your 650D to ISO 400 or even ISO 800 will yield a better image than one taken with your SX50 at ISO 320.

If you select "Auto ISO" the camera can select the intermediate ISOs for you, but there is no way for you to select any other than the whole stop values.

I'm using the Canon T2i (550D) camera and here's an example of one taken at ISO320. Just use the manual control and set the ISO level to AUTO. I would think that the Canon T4i (650D) camera would do the same.

i have read somewhere, but dont recall EXACTLY where, that this camera works well with multiples of iso 160.

There are approximately ONE MILLION things more important, and you need to master most of those before you need to worry about the difference between ISO 160 and 100 or 200. :-)

The camera works well with any ISO. Depending on who you believe, there may be a very small advantage to working with ISO multiples of 160... but this is much more a theoretical advantage than an actual one in the real world. Stop worrying about it and just go and take some photos.

well there are not one million more important things...
Approximately. :-)

Exaggeration and smileys are conventional indicators of humorous intent.
And really, are you saying I shouldnt investigate tips i hear about?
I'm saying that there are a ridiculously large number of things vastly more important to the impact of your images than the difference betweens 1/3 step ISO values.
Honestly what a pointless comment.
How will the answer to your original question change your photography?
At what point did i say was worried? I asked how or if this can be selected.
But what you really want to know is if it's worth worrying (bothering, doing anything...) about?

so what? you still havent made an actual point. Im asking a question about iso, what possible difference does it make to where it stands in the league of importance. Your logic would be to diminish all rational thought to the single most important one and thus instantly killing conversation and social progress.
Honestly what a pointless comment.

who gives a ^%$£? why are you talking about everything except my question? if you dont know the answer then dont comment. I am allowed to ask a question in a forum am i not? I read the faq and nowhere does it state i can only ask questions YOU regard as important.

yes just to clarify. I am NOT worried about it. I am INTERESTED in it. I read a post where it is claimed the algo canon uses favors multiples of 160 and 320 gave a good results. I was intrigued to try it but could not see how to set it on the 650d. I did not know that it couldnt be done since my sx50 does this no problem. The sx50 is far too noisy past iso80 for me to use that as a test camera imho.

Just be aware that intermediate ISO's can sometimes be fake. e.g. digital manipulation to achieve the sensitivity at the expensse of image quality.

I just double-checked in my Magic lantern installed T3i. You simply have to select ISO from Exposure menu and rotate the main wheel, it changes ISO in the following values. A, 100, 160, 200, 320, 400, 640, 800, 1250, 1600, 2500, 3200, 6400,...

I guess the answer is this can be done only in T2i/T3i if you are looking for this feature in Rebel line.

so what?
So people reading this thread don't need to worry about it. They don't need to be upset that their 650D doesn't do what their SX50 does, and they don't need to think they shouldn't buy a 650D because it doesn't do intermediate ISOs (don't laugh, it happens all the time). In the big picture, it's irrelevant to most photographers and they shouldn't be distracted by it.
why are you talking about everything except my question?
Because it was answered in the first reply and several times since.

You can't control what people do with an idea, and you can't control what they say to each other about ideas that spark off it. You are not the centre of the universe.

Why do you think it's incredible? Why can't you accept the answer and leave it alone? Now that you have been given two ways to test it, why don't you do that and let us know what you find?
have you trained as a troll by any chance?
No. But I'm learning... :-) (That's a joke, see? We can have fun here as well.)

yes i see magic lantern just mentions 650d as in development. tx.
 
If you want smaller ISO increments using shutter or aperture priority you might consider the Canon 60D. I like the smaller ISO increments too, so we have more control. But I found with the Rebels using the manual control with the auto ISO actually works pretty good. That way, I could concentrate on the depth of field I wanted with the chosen F-stop and shutter speed to freeze the action. I let the camera pick the ISO level and it will sometime surprise me. I've gotten some great pictures of birds at ISO4000 or ISO5000 that way. I almost never would have picked that high of an ISO level, and then I probably would have had not-as-good pictures. I think I've taken thousands of pictures that way. But the one drawback, is that doing it that way, you cannot adjust the exposure compensation. So then I switch to aperture priority if that's the case, and just live without the smaller ISO increments. But it's really not that big of a deal, since these Rebels take pictures up to ISO3200 without too much noise. Sometimes ISO6400 turns out pretty good too.
