[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 492666, member: 9240"] On all my cameras when you hold the ISO button down to adjust it, the back wheel toggles through the ISO values and the front wheel toggles between Auto ISO on/off. I've accidentally turned it on and off when changing the value and perhaps that happened when you went to RAW? I intentionally keep Auto ISO on for 90-95% of my shooting as I've set the values in a way that allows me to shoot without VR (I am convinced it's sharper after having lived 3 years in the "no it's not" camp) and maintain noise levels that are manageable in post for the particular shot. When conditions and/or circumstances are such that I need to be concerned about whether or not I can achieve the shot I want while letting the camera make decisions for me I'll turn it off and go full manual. Defaults on each of my cameras are set differently with the max ISO ranging between 800 on my D7000 to 12800 on my D750, with (Slower->Faster) sensitivity varying depending on the lens and subject (not sure if you have that on the D3100).
