Hopefully this isn't a stupid question but I was wondering if there was a way to set this up on the canon 60d, I have this set up on my 6d.

If there is I can't find how to do it.

I'm not near my camera now but I think on my 600D I was only able to do this with ML.

Apparently not, Custom function IV-2 only lists these as the possibilities:

Yeah, thanks! That's all I could see as well but thought maybe I was missing something.

Thanks again!

Curiously the 600D does have ISO as one of the settable features:

I'm just curious why you want to switch the ISO button to the Set button from the ISO button above the top LCD screen.

If it works as it does with my 1DX, then there is the advantage that you can look through the viewfinder, press the SET button and roll the dial. Then in real time you'll see how your aperture and/or time will change as you modfiy the ISO value.
You can see the ISO value change if you use the normal ISO button, but not immediately how it affects exposure.

Thanks. That could be very interesting, one of those things to think about when upgrading.

(On the 600D) In manual,
to adjust SS your thumb presses nothing and your finger rolls the dial,
to adjust AV your thumb presses the AV button and your finger rolls the dial,
to adjust ISO your finger pushes the ISO button and your thumb uses the left and right arrows to adjust.

It feels backwards. Having it so thumb chooses what changes and finger rolls the dial no matter which of the 3 you want to change keeps it nearly subconscious.

I use the SET button to select center point autofocus. Then, using the D-pad for the outer focus points is an intuitive operation. Pressing the SET twice chooses all points autofocus (never use).

My ISO is set to the SET button as well. You don't lose the ISO button up top, it just gives you another way to set it. It works by pressing and holding the SET button, and simultaneously moving the top wheel left or right to adjust. I find this quicker than using the top button because if I'm adjusting exposure, my thumb is already on the dpad/thumb-wheel.
