Saving to User 1?

I shoot with the Nikon Z5. I am trying to save setting for normal, stationary shooting to U1, and action shooting to U2. So, I make my camera setting for U1 and single shot mode, then save it to User 1. Then when I make my settings for U2, I want the shooting mode to be continuous H high speed, then save it to User 2. Now. when I move to User 1, the shooting mode will automatically switch to continuous H, instead of staying at single shot mode. What am I doing wrong?

Just checked to see what the response is on my Z6. It is apparent that the 'Release Mode' (single, low, high and high*) can not be saved differently to the 'U1,2,3 user modes.

In other words whatever the release mode is that you have chosen in any mode it will always be applicable in the Us and PSAM modes until such time as you change it.

What Grahame said....I have a Z6ii and for some reason, it doesn't save the shooting mode to the individual user modes. Not sure why, but I have to remember to switch shooting modes whenever I'm using those custom settings. This is in their user manual if you dig deep enough.

That is exactly what is happening. Thank you for the info!
