The iS-3(000) can decode:

25,32,40,50,64,80,100,125,160,200,250,320,400,500,640,800,1000,1250,1600,200
0,2500,3200,4000,5000


The iS-30(0) can decode:

25,32,50,64,100,125,200,250,400,500,800,1000,1600,2000,3200


Intermediate values will be rounded downwards; so 160 ASA film will be rated
125, 320 ASA film will be rated 250. Bad news for users of Ektachrome 160T,
users of films like Portra 160 or Tri-X Pan 320 probably won't mind the 1/3
stop off-DX decoding?

Btw, pushing a film with the iS-3000 can also be a nightmare; one hit on the
reset button also cancels exposure compensation, which is the only way to
overrule this DX decoding :((
