You can do this on the Super Control Panel or by using whatever button(s) you have for selecting and changing ISO or through the MENUs

Hi Wes. You should be able to use the Super Control Panel. Press OK and navigate to the ISO section (top left). Press OK again and you should be able to select an ISO setting. Is that what you mean?

Edit. Graham beat me to it.

You can also check that it isn't set as the default by going to Menu Cog E and selecting your preferred default ISO setting.

I prefer to use the lever in position 2 and rotate the front dial while looking through the viewfinder, easier than scrolling through menus. But do put the lever back to position 1 after you have set ISO to get back to shutter/aperature wheel control.

Thanks for the replies............. I had the ISO set to manual i.e. I select the ISO, however, after I updated the camera it went back to Auto ISO as the default and for some reason I cannot change this on the touch menu or by using the front dial. In the main Menu, noise reduction, noise Filter and Iso are all greyed out, leaving me with ISO step, Auto set and Auto only? Have thought about a factory reset, but the thought of having to go through the menu and set up all the functions again is putting me off.

Thanks Again

What mode is the camera set in?
in iauto mode the ISO will be auto

Edit
The manual is available here where you find out how to update the firmware too if you have not already

Hi,

The Camera was updated with the latest firmware and has reverted to
Auto ISO after the update.. I prefer to set the ISO Manually and was in this mode before it was updated ...............

I cannot now seem to change it back to Manual ISO

Turn the "MODE" Dial on top of the camera to either "P", "A", "S" or "M"

Press the OK button to get the SCP on the screen, then using the 4 way control buttons, sellect the ISO box, press OK again and the ISO settings will appear on the bottom.

Hope you got it sorted. I am from Newcastle Co. Down. Went to Bangor West for holidays when young.

Hi Graham,

Have tried that but when the ISO icon is highlighted and I press OK again nothing happens, I know it is supposed to show at the bottom of the screen but for some reason it doesn't ...... When the other icons are highlighted e.g. WB and ok is pressed they do show at the bottom of the screen and can be adjusted there?

It was ok before the latest firmware update was applied..................

Try a FULL Reset in Shooting Menu 1 > Reset/Myset > Reset > Full

Also try connecting it to Olympus Capture, that forces it out of iAuto mode (if selected) and the ISO can be set from there.

If that don't work, then I think it may well be a trip to Portugal

Hi Graham,

Did a full reset and that seems to have sorted it thanks............. Suppose I will have to go through the menus and check what now needs reset back again :-(
