Don't know if anyone knows about this, but I recently stumbled upon this. It enables the 400D to increase its ISO range up too 3200. It allows more increments of ISO levels starting at ISO 16.

This hack also allows spot metering. You can view the exact shutter count taken by the camera acessing the factory menu (don't know if this was possible before the hack.

Anyways, I decided to check it out and it works amazing! The process itself wasn't very clear, but it took < 30 min to figure it out. The first time I've ever used the print button Also, this hack is reversible, just format the card or use another.

Is there a similar hack for other rebel models? I'd love to have some more ISO options on my xsi.

Sadly, not yet.

Does this work on 1d's?

Aaand technically you're still on the same boat as the thread's creator, as your 3200 is still an amplification of 1600.

What is spot metering? /noob question

[infinital]

spot metering is when the camera meters directly on a spot. usually the center. so instead of metering the whole scene it only meters that area.

[ghost93]

Awh, alright. Thanks.

[L0neWolf2]

why would you want this 3200 anyway? it'll look like *******.

[infinital]

the picture in the OP shows what it looks like at iso 3200. tbh it's not that bad

[L0neWolf2]

eh, I guess.
mainly because it's harder to see the noise on all the light color stuff, but as soon as it hits anything dark/shadows, it's nasty.

No hax required.

isnt H on the 1d2 3200

[GMaster]

^ yep

Here is a sample I just took with a 1d3 @ 6400. I've never used it past 800 yet so was curious as to how it held up. The only thing lighting that is rope light in the distance, so this sample really shows the crap of low light grain.

No. H stands for helicopter.
