Get the iso out of you custom settings and assign it to the back dial. Problem solved.

You can’t get ISO out of custom settings—that’s basically the entire point of the original post 🙂

However, you did prompt me to pick up the camera and try something.

I can’t see a way of assigning it to the rear dial, but it can be assigned to the front. This results in it sharing the front dial with shutter speed, with a click toggling between those two modes. As previously mentioned, I have shutter speed turned off on the dial, so the net result is that I can press the dial to make ISO selectable, then select the ISO, then press the dial to make it select shutter speed (which, being disabled, effectively deactivates the dial). It’s rather a fudge of a workaround with a slightly misleading UI in the display, and it only works for ISO, but it’s an improvement.

Fundamentally, though, the core issue remains: selecting a new set of custom settings means having to change the ISO. It’s now just a bit easier to change ISO (so thanks).
