user mode - iso sensitivity not adjusting

Hello-I have D7000 and I shoot sports photography. During the day I shoot the scene sports as it adjusts the iso and shutter speeds perfectly and I get excellent shots. For evening football games under the lights I set it to my user setting and turn the ISO sensitivity to on. I have always used the default settings and it adjusts the ISO (always to the max of 6400) and adjusts the shutter speeds appropriately. I always get great shots. The last few times I have used this setting it will not adjust to the maximum ISO or the Shutter Speeds and I have bad pix. My eyes are not the greatest so it's hard to tell on the field. I have taken my camera to a few places and they said nothing is wrong and maybe I did not turn it on--really? I have a night game coming up and I need for this to work again--Any advise?

Welcome to the forum, [MENTION=42760]Donna J[/MENTION]

I am not familiar with the D7000, but I do have the D7100. Thinking about what you have stated, is there a chance the the Max ISO setting under Auto ISO has been changed to a lower value from your 6400 setting in the custom menus?

Many settings you adjust in the menus require you to perform an additional step in order to save the setting. Usually an extra 'OK' on the main control buttons. Perhaps you just aren't saving the setting.

Make sure what you have saved under the user settings is exactly what you want. If you use a U1/U2 and tweak something, but don't save it as a U, it will stick around even if you turn off the camera, but if you switch to any other mode and come back to U, whatever you tweaked will revert back to the saved U settings. If if you switch between u1/u2, any unsaved adjustments will go away. I end up not using the U's that much because it makes me crazy.

It either has to do with your "Auto ISO" settings or your user settings that have been modified in a way or another.

Try going into auto-iso settings and make certain that your max iso is set to 6400 and ask for a higher shutter speed minimum.

Also make sure that you are saving to the correct U1 or U2 setting. I had a few close calls early on where I almost saved one over the other.
