I just purchased D7500, my D90 died. I’m not a professional. Was familiarizing myself with camera and took shots in Auto mode to get started. I noticed an exposure meter in Info display and control panel and wondered why this would be in Auto mode as I a thought this was only in P,S,A and M modes. I don’t remember this on my D90. Also, had it set for single shot and it took 2 with 1 shutter press. I don’t plan to use Auto much, but don’t want any underlying problems. Should this be a concern? Thanks.

I don't use Auto so I'm guessing a bit here but I presume you're talking about the plus/minus scale in the viewfinder. If so, I believe it's there so that you can dial in a certain amount of exposure bias should you wish to slightly override the Auto Mode's setting. To use it you would press the exposure compensation button and rotate either then main or secondary command dial to select the amount of compensation you want. 

 

On my D7000 I've had occasions where the camera fired off two shots when I thought I had it set to single shot mode. On at least a couple of those occasions the culprit was the "too easy to change" drive setting dial. Just bumping it can cause it to change modes which is apparently what happened to me. When I checked, it was in a multiple shot mode. However, I thought that Nikon had fixed that in either the D7100 or the D7200.

Could anyone specifically share what steps it takes to put the d7500 into multiple shot mode and then back into single shot mode?

I don't use a D7500 so I'm not qualified to answer. My suggestion would be to check the manual (either print or PDF) to answer this question.

That was going to be my suggestion as well.  I know that option is somewhere in the menu system on my bodies but not sure where.  I assume you are asking about multiple exposures for a frame and not continuous shooting vs. single shot mode.

Go to the Photo Shooting Menu and select the Multiple Exposures item. See page 256 of the manual for a list of the attendant options. Note that capturing Multiple Exposures requires capturing RAW data.
