Auto ISO issue with Nikon Z camera

Hi,

With my previous camera Nikon D610 i had one great option which i can't find it in my new Nikon Z5. Namely, in A mode I could previously set the main wheel to adjust the ISO value without pressing the ISO button. In that case only the shutterspeed was automatically set. In the Nikon Z5 (I suppose it is the same with other Z cameras), you should first press the ISO button, then use the front wheel to turn it to manual, then use the rear (main) wheel to select the ISO value. However, there is a another problem. Namely, when I want to go back to Auto ISO, it remembers the last previous setting of the ISO value as the minimum. For example, otherwise in Auto ISO mode I set the ISO at 100 as minimum, then in manual ISO mode I set it to for example 400, then when returning to Auto ISO the camera does not allow it to go below 400. I have to dig in Menu to reselect it to 100 as minimum again. It wastes time. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thank you.

Why do you need to dig in Menu to set the minimum ISO? The main wheel sets the lower limit for AutoISO, just like it sets the ISO in manual.
