Well OK.

Back in the ancient days of film, you were free to push film speeds,
knowing what would result. I think it's a good thing if you can do
the same with digital, keep the auto features running with a bogus ISO
setting. Your point about quality is well taken.

My first (and so far only) digital camera had an effective ISO of
about 50 and no way to override, so I'm eager for better real
sensitivity and any workable overrides.
