ISO in Viewfinder

When I am on M mode and my camera is setting to "ISO auto" I can see in the Control Panel the Shuter speed, the Aperture size, and the ISO value. But in the viewfinder, I see "ISO auto" instead of a value.
How can I configure the camera to see in the viewfinder a ISO number instead "ISO auto"?
Thanks,
Amnon

There isn't any adjustment to show the ISO value in the view finder it only flashes when Auto ISO is working. I set my max ISO to what I am comfortable with and adjust Shutter and Aperture for exposure and depth of field and recognize that the ISO could go to the maximum I had chosen. I will not know that it may be exceeded until the light meter deflects.

I think Michael's post should describe the change, sorry I didn't read through the link. But it's probably a setting to display ISO when you depress the shutter release. My D7100 flashes auto-ISO and shows the actual speed when I press the button. It displays it just to the right (taking over the buffer display).

Not sure what's in the link above but if you go to custom settings menu select d8 'easy ISO' set to on. That should get you what you want.
