[QUOTE="Griso, post: 548529, member: 36326"] So, camera is a D610, but guessing this may be an issue to many models, so posting here, as it's the lens causing the issue. Up 'till now and the arrival of the 150-600mm, this has not been an issue. I'll try to explain... I shoot in manual, as often the aperture is important (e.g. want to stop it down a bit, or get a bit more dof to get at least some of the bird or whatever in focus) and the shutter is important (bif, or whatever). I don't use autoISO as I don't want to be messing with exposure comp. and the ISO I think I can get away with differs with every photo - how dark, shadowy, how much I think I'm willing to put up with. I'm waffling, but I like manual and I know autoISO is very popular, but rather not go with that. So, the problem is this: How do I adjust ISO while holding a camera with big lens to the eye? The ISO button is bottom left of the screen, so to press it I need to remove my hand supporting the lens. Which was apparently ok with my other smaller lenses, but just doesn't really work with this one. I'm sure others must have had this problem and found a solution. It would be perfect if you could reprogramme the Fn or dof preview button to ISO, but can't see that's an option. I may be wrong, but even the Dx, D8x0 have the ISO button on the left hand, which leads me to suspect I'm missing something technique wise. Hope I haven't buried the question in too much rambling.
