Nikon D500: can you reset shutter/aperture/iso with a single button?

I've been playing around with my 17-70 and the Nikon D500 today and I found it difficult to quickly switch from "macro" to open water wide shooting.

My go to settings tend to be around 1/200, f/8 and iso100. I usually go back to those settings when I've no clue what to expect. Is there a way to assign a custom preset to an fn combination or similar to do that?

Or should perhaps look at custom modes? Not sure custom mode would really solve the problem if I'm then in custom mode and fiddle with settings. 

As far as I know you can only assign one function to an Fn button. 

You can set up a whole series of settings to a Custom mode. So you could set up, say, two lots of settings to, say, Custom Setting Bank A  (call it Macro) and B (Wide-Angle). You can name them anything you like.

Then add those two banks (Macro and Wide-Angle whatever) into the last menu setting ("My Menu") using the Add items command. Then  assign an Fn button to take you to My Menu. You then just scroll up and down between the two and hit OK.

I have something like that set up to jump between AutoFP and Flash Sync Speeds.

It works well enough.

I do not shoot the D500 underwater, but I do shoot it extensively on land. Adding to TimG's reply above, you will also need to set the "Extended photo memory banks" in the Photo Shooting Menu to ON for each bank in order to retain the shutter, aperture, iso etc. when moving from bank to bank. Note that the D500 banks work differently than the U1 & U2 settings on other Nikon cameras, in that the settings for the shutter, aperture, etc. in the D500 are retained as those last used when you change banks.

If you need further explanation, please let me know.

Really good point - thanks, Harry!

Yeah sadly the D500 does not have the U1 and U2 settings.

TimG: I do miss the U1, etc. functions on the dial that are common on the Nikon consumer cameras. On the D500, I do a workaround using the banks and the save/load option to the chip. This requires a few more steps but I have the save/load command in My Menu and bring it up with the Fn2 button. I'm sure that you do something similar.

Yep, I do. Works pretty well I find. Although, got to say, I tend to only use two lenses, Nikkor 60 mm and the Tokina 10-17 and between them there isn 't much need for big changes in settings. Maybe aperture, maybe shutter speed - not much else!
