Has I have said before I am a complete newby at this photography Game.
I was given a Pentax Zx for Christmas.
my problem is that whilst fiddling with camera menu and trying to change the ISO which I managed to do Following the instruction Manual, then using the same procedure to change back I cannot get it to go back to 200 ISO The lowest ISO I can now Get is 400.
Please Help but keep it simple I am completly new over 70 but have not yet completly lost it, But reading this back I am not so sure Many thanks Peter

I'm not familiar with this camera but they will set the ISO from the coding on the film cassette, is there a film in it?

I think he must mean the K-x

Have you tried this Peter:

Make sure the shadow/highlight correction are turned off
Turn on the expanded ISO setting

That should get you ISO 100 as a minimum, ISO 200 when using your shadow/highlight correction.

If all else fails, you could try 'restore factory settings'!

The Zx is the American version of the MZ series
