C Registers

Or, are all saved settings in that C register reloaded in their entirety when the camera is turned on?

On the D7200, the settings don't revert to the saved configuration unless you leave the user setting and then return to it. The D7xxx series have the selectable user settings U1 and U2, though. Perhaps Tom or someone else who has a D500 or D850 can chime in with how it works on these bodies?

Thanks Peter... that was my recollection, but I no longer have a Nikon body that supports custom registers.
The reason I ask is that I have been having a number of "Doh!" moments with my Lumix G85... this one being that if you are in a custom mode, changing something like metering mode, focus points, or even ISO, does not stick through a power cycle, OR even a sleep/wake cycle. When powering the camera on or having it wake from sleep, any changes you made are overwritten by what was initially saved to the custom register.
This just seems daffy to me, but the folks in the Panny forums are quite defensive in that this is how the camera "should" work. I just wanted to confirm my recollection about the Nikon's behavior.
