1.) Open CF card door and leave it open.
2.) Power on the body.
3.) Press menu and OK together.
4.) Press UP, down, left, right buttons individually in sequence.
5.) Press the shutter button all the way, and then press OK.
6.) Press down and it'll show a 'page 3' display with some bunch of metrics.
7.) At 'page 3', press in sequence: LEFT, up, right, down, shutter (fully), and then OK.
8.) Left entry choose 10, and right entry choose anywhere from 1 to 23 for ISO 50 till 10000. Press OK when done.
9.) Close CF card door and you'll be placed into the body's usual ready-to-shoot mode.
10.) Notice that the ISO is set to 'Auto'. As long as it's in 'Auto', it's the ISO you have set from step 8 just now. To reset, just choose some other ISO number and you'll have to do steps 1 till 9 again to get your super-high ISO setting.

Works on E-series cameras?

Well, some says it is just a software bug.
Anyone got samples to show? Is it just ISO 3200?

Know of any of these types of quirks on the 20D? I always like reading about this type of stuff... I have a DVD player where I can turn the macrovision off, AND run any region DVD on, but I haven't found anything for my camera, yet.

But does it let you beat the end-of-level boss? What about God mode?

Tried it on the E-1. Dosen't work. Although I would not be interested in ISO 10000 I would be interested in ISO 50. Oh well...

hrmm...it's not April 1st, is it?

Its called test mode, and as far as I know you can do alot of cool things in there as well. Not just ISO. You can find shutter actuation totals. You can find Pixels mapped. Lots of cool stuff.

Here is a link to the DPreview and I have been told it works on the E500 and may also work on the E-1 I'll check afterwhile. I know it works on my E300 as I have used it to get in and check things.

Here is a discussion of it on fourthirdsphoto.com
