Hello All;
I've had the Contax U4R for several months now and love it! There are two SCENE MODES that I use the most, PORTRAIT and B&W. I use PORTRAIT because I'm able to choose the ISO (I prefer this over the SPORT MODE because 99% of the time it locks into 2.8 aperature PLUS choice of ISO).

The problem is that when I go to B&W mode, then come back to Portrait mode, it is no longer possible to choose my ISO. I have to go into the camera SET UP and do a MODE RESET. After I do this, I can go into portrait and choose ISO again. The problem is that I loose all my saved settings (ie. flash default off). Because I use these modes the most, I'm hoping there is a simpler way to do this without having to reset everything, every time.

Any help would be most welcomed!!!
Thank you,
Edber

Hi guys,
As it turns out, double pressing the scene mode gets you out of mode settings and allows you to change your ISO settings.
Hope this helps someone else.
Cheers,
Edber :)
