As it was loading it said the ISO was 25??? I turned the button to the ISO after it finished loading and it still said 25. I went ahead and took pictures and loaded the next roll of 400 speed film and the ISO said 400, like it is supposed to. Anyone know what the heck happened with that and if I should expect my pictures to turn out?

It sounds like you have a camera capable of reading DX coding off the canister, so it sets the ISO by itself. It sounds like you should expect your pictures to come out.

I would be worried that that roll of pictures may be over exposed. It sounds like you have a camera that reads the DLX barcode on the side of the roll canister; it was either blocked or scratched and it couldn't read the code. Or the sensor that reads the code is malfunctioning. If it did I would call up canon and ask them for some help to answer the question and fix the problem. I have the canon Elon 7 and have never had that problem come up, and I shoot professionally.

Have you had the film processed yet? If not, ask for that roll to be processed as 25 asa film. If not, then the roll will be about 5 stops underexposed. Some pictures might be salvageable, because you do have some exposure latitude with print film, but that's usually only 2 or 3 stops.

Camera is reading the bar coded black and white areas printed on the film cartridge. If you did not force it to accept your manual entry of 400 then the roll was exposed at ISA 25 and is seriously overexposed. When you bring it in for processing tell them that and see if they can correct for it, although that is a long shot.
Possibly the sensor on your camera is intermittently defective at reading part of the code. Possibly your film was mismarked or possibly the first cartridge had a label over part of the code that interfered with its reading. Get the camera looked at.

Tell your photo developer they can process accordingly
