I have figured out how to easily adjust the ISO and a lot of other settings from the default LCD setting: hit OK and hold it for a second or two, to get the right margin menu, then arrow up and down, and hit OK after every step).

This seems overly complicated. Once the Super Control Panel is enabled for the mode you are using (P, A, etc.), just about all the settings can be adjusted by hitting OK to pop up the SCP, navigating to the setting you want to change (tap the screen,rotate the rear dial, use the directional buttons -- your choicej), and then adjusting the setting with the front dial. That's what the SCP is for. Once you change the setting it is ready when you depress the shutter button to shoot, without the need to hit OK. If you are changing multiple settings you just move to the next setting without the need to hit OK.

The only thing left for me to conquer is to adjust White Balance. The camera is insisting on Auto White Balance and I can't figure out how to move it from that in cases where I need to, but I will figure it out.

This is a setting you can change on your SCP. It is the square right next to ISO. If you have one of your buttons set to Multifunction (I use fn2), you press the button and either the front or rear dial controls WB and the other dial controls ISO.

This is all in the manual.

Thank  you for taking the time to explain this. I appreciate it.  Your explanation is clear.

My problem is that I have the F1 button set to MF and the F2 button set to  focus peaking. I need these for digitizing slides. I find this convenient, it works well and  I have found at least one source on the internet that recommends doing it this way.

(I find that using focus peaking as the Focus Assist for manual focusing does not work for me as an alternative, it is easier to use focus peaking as a separate control via Fn2.)

So I need to find an alternative way to modify WB when needed. Right now I seem stuck in Auto WB forever.
