No. It’s easiest to just set up a custom function button for the Auto-ISO presets (I use the right d-pad on all my cameras that have one). Quick and easy to change.

I already have this set up on the d-pad down button, but this means I need to have ISO set to A, not C. In faster situations I do not want to use the top dial to override the ISO value, but a wheel instead, which feels inherently faster.

I do recommend setting a high max ISO limit to prevent the camera from unexpectedly overriding a too-low minimum SS setting (I use base ISO and ISO 12800 for all three of my presets with different min. shutter speeds for each. It’s better to have a little noise than motion blur.

ISO 12800 is way above my tolerance level with this camera, and I usually pay attention to the SS on the EVF while shooting, so no worries here, but I will have to experiment more with the Auto ISO settings if it is not possible to limit the ISO range. Maybe I have to dig a little bit deeper to find another fast way to conditionally override the Auto ISO value without using the top dial.

Thanks for the hints!
