Q2 and Auto ISO (50)

Got my Q2 yesterday and set up Auto ISO.

Looks like minimum ISO with Auto ISO is 100 and not 50.

Can you guys confirm ?

Yes, as weird as it sound. You have to choose ISO 50, but it is a real ISO 50, not a pull.

Auto ISO range starts with 100. You can set ISO 50 manually. I know this because I tried it out. I also read it somewhere but cannot remember where.

Maybe they will change that in FW updates. 

Seems like an omission to me.

The problem that I have with the Auto ISO with the Q is very different from the M10 (M240 as well) and Dlux 7. 

With the aperture set manually, max ISO 6400, max shutter speed 1/250, what happens with the other cameras is once both limits are reached, the shutter speed would drop until the exposure is correct may it be as low as 1/8. 

However, now the Q just stops dead at the limited shutter speed and as a result the image is under exposed. 

I find this a problem as now I would have to manually adjust the shutter speed each time. 

Not quite sure why they would change the way the auto iso's behaviour from camera to camera. Have written to Leica and they said that they would inform the techs. 

Anyone have multiple Leica cameras who might have noticed this anomaly?
