Did you set the camera to use 1 focus point or is it still defaulted to select the focus point it thinks is best? You should be able to adjust the ISO in all but "auto" mode. Using IS you should be able to drop the shutter speed down to around 30th-40th of a sec and still get crisp shots. Enjoy the camera!

Quote - I am having trouble with the focus, I center the focus point over where I want to focus press the shutter to focus, everything looks great in the viewfinder but in the final outcome is out of focus or the focus is elsewhere. The ISO is on auto and stays on 400 for some reason. I am going to read the manual so that I have a better idea of the controls. Also here is the landscape I was promising, it is the only one I have shot and it was hand held, not great but maybe it will help you decide. > Quote - @RCC;
