Hi,
I have a question (which I should know the answer to but can’t seem to figure out.) I have tried googling and looking in my manual but I think my wording is off.
Earlier today, I set my ISO to 800 for an indoor setting. I later tried to change the ISO to other settings. It changes for the frame I am taking but immediately reverts back to 800 and I have to reset the ISO for every picture.
I have Nikon 7200 and shoot in manual or AP. Any ideas?
Thanks! Greatly appreciated!

We can guess a bunch of potential ideas. If you have an unedited JPEG from the camera, say at one of these ISO-800 images, we might see the relevant camera setting in the EXIF data if you store the file.

Did you change it in a different menu where the change is only temporary?

I changed it in the set-up menu. I also tried from the back of the camera. I also reset my photo shooting menu. It keeps switching back to 800 after every shot. I can’t figure out why.

My first though is you may have something to do with Auto ISO. Do you have it set to auto, or are you inadvertently turning the front control dial when changing your ISO?

Thank you, Bill. Just checked that and it is off but good idea.

Reset your camera to its defaults and start over. My guess is that there’s something in your setup that is causing the problem.

That worked!! I had reset my shooting settings but didn’t help. When I reset my user settings, that reset whatever the issue was. Thank you so much!!

"...I changed it in the set-up menu." ? ISO isn't an option in the SETUP MENU unless you tried "Reset user settings" which reverts U1 or U2 to the default values for P mode

Thank you for your reply! I reset user settings. I probably worded it incorrectly. Still not sure what was reset to make it work. I wish I knew so I don’t make the same mistake again.
