Sonny, I have these settings with 6 bit lens. Result is the same with lens
detection on or off or non 6 bit lens.
Auto ISO setup: 1/30 / 1250
ISO: AUTO ISO
Shutter speed dial: A
Aperture f16
Camera pointed into low light (under my computer desk).

I get ISO adjusted to max set (1250 in this example) but longer shutter
speed (2 secs in this example) Longer speed is audible when taken, as
displayed and also is in EXIF. Exposure is approx correct.
If I set shutter speed manually, I get the auto ISO but still underexposed
in this test. This is what I would expect.
Are you setting something I am missing?

Are you getting the exposure as auto ISO and at the minimum shutter speed
selection?
Can you test in lower light maybe?
It could be that you are trying on a scene that doesn't need below the
minimum speed you have set?

Cheers
Geoff

are coded
