Still, it's worth noting that the old standard portrait print film ISO was 160-- a lot lower that 800.
The light source was just a small window.

The data (checked on computer) was intact with the image listed the shutter speed as 1/41, however, the data on the camera display said it was 1/40.

I didn't know the old standard ISO was 160. That's pretty neat. When I used film cameras, I only used T-MAX Film with 400 ISO/film speed.

I'll make sure to keep my ISO lowest as possible for future shots. :]
