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.
Apologies if this question comes off as insulting, but just to confirm, if you're shooting manual, when you adjust the ISO to keep the exposure value the same right? The photo you've got there looks slightly underexposed to me
That being said, assuming you are keeping the exposure value equal, then conventional wisdom says that you get slightly less contrast (including colour contrast) with a wide open aperture. So if you set the ISO faster, and don't change your shutter speed, your aperture will be smaller, and you should be getting more colour contrast.
On top of that, each lens has its own "sweet spot" where it gives you the best image quality (sharpness, contrast, saturation etc) generally but not always somewhere around f/8.
So if you haven't already, true adjusting your ISO to 160, and getting your aperture as close to f/8 as you can, and adjust the shutter speed to achieve that.
