Is there an easier way to turn off Auto ISO on a D500 beside navigating through the Menu system? When I press the ISO button and rotate the front dial, it goes through all the ISO variables except for Auto ISO. There's got to be an easier way, isn't there? I did a YouTube check but couldn't find anything besides the Menu option.

On both my cameras D7100 and 810 ISO plus rear dial changes the ISO and ISO plus front changes to auto on or off. Switch functions somehow?

YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY YEAR. :)
MY FRONT DIAL - D750 AND D7100 WILL TURN ON AND OFF AUTO ISO. THIS WORKS AS LONG AS
M - A - S - P ARE SELECTED. A (AUTO) AND SCENE, JUST STANDARD ISO.

What are these modes? ;) That is interesting as I can turn off auto ISO from the rear in those modes on the D7100 but in program mode on the 810 it still requires use of the front dial.

MY REAR DIAL WILL GO THROUGH ALL THE ISO SETTINGS. I NEED TO USE MY FRONT DIAL TO CHANGE TO AUTO ISO OR NOT.
ONE OF US MUST HAVE CHANGED SOMETHING AT SOME TIME.

I wonder if you unintentionally customized the front dial function?

*face palm* :p

Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this. The rear dial changes the ISO value. But it IS the front dial that toggles it on and off. So thank you! I think it's because the ISO button is located in a different place on the D500 than it is on my D750.

The thing is when I use my D750 bodies, I have U1 and U2 programmed. So for settings that I tend to use regularly, all I have to do is to turn the mode dial to one of those instead of diving into the menu or using shortcuts.

I want to be sure how to turn it off if I need to use a flash (haven't tried a flash with my D500 yet). So now I know. Thanks again for the help!
