Ah sorry, yes I misunderstood. Yup, it could certainly do that...
In fact, wouldn't it switch to Av mode (from P) if you take it off A? I'd
test it, but I'd have to go dig up a non-DA lens :) If so, your wheel
assignment for Av could have ISO on the other wheel? Ok, it's still
changing wheels, but it doesn't lose your usual hyper-P ability.

I don't think you understand. The camera senses that the lens is off
the A setting so it automatically reassigns ISO to the wheel that
handled the aperture, that's easily possible.

AFAIK this wouldn't be possible; the camera is not able to stop the lens
down further than what you set on the aperture ring. Hence the
positioning of 'A' at the far end.

As someone who uses a mix of lenses, K/M/A/F/FA I'd really like to be
able to set the ISO in manual mode directly from the wheel that used to
handle aperture automatically when the lens is off the A position,
rather than having to press the OK button or reprogram the wheels. I
mean really, it would be very convenient. The camera does that in all
the automatic modes. Just a thought really.
