Hi Warren,

Welcome to the community.

I'm looking into finding a solution for you and will update the thread when I have more information for you.

In the meantime perhaps another member of the community may be able to help.

Hi Warren,

Can you tell us what lens are you using? and as far as i can tell from your post, the ISO value is set to auto. Am i right?

Also, can you make sure that you have this latest firmware update: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-6000-series/ilce-6500/downloads/0001501...

Hello 

the camera camera era is running on 1.05 firmware the main lense is a SEL1018 and yes when in auto iso mode it will only take pictures at 6400 iso and ruins the pictures it used to work ok take pictures great not the all look horrible

Hi there,

Have you tried initializing the camera to factory settings? you can find the steps here: https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1640/v1/en/contents/TP0001273889.html

Does this happen with other lenses or is it just the SEL1018??
