So caveat here, last time I shot fully manual was about 30 years ago. You couldn't change your ISO on the fly, you picked out a roll and that was that.

Now here I am shooting digital and what is wrong with the lowest ISO setting? Searching around I feel like I'm the only one with this issue. ISO 160 sucks the saturation out and tries to push the image towards black and white with high contrast, it feels like. If I tap it up and readjust everything, even just to 200-400, the problem goes away. Any thoughts? Busted lens? Some setting buried in the massive list? Any help appreciated... seems a shame not to shoot at 160 when I've got plenty of light (or is this old B&W film mindset?)

Fujifilm X-T4 BTW.

Edited to show what I mean better: not identical pictures but from the same day, of the same tree.

it's tough to know what you're seeing without seeing it. can you post a side by side showing one image at 160 and another at a bigger iso where you aren't noticing this effect?
