What about setting it to auto and letting the camera decide?
I leave ISO on auto all the time, it's the 'side' of the exposure triangle that has least effect on image quality. Choose to suit subject movement, A for DoF and lens performance. See what ISO that gives, and 'compromise' as or if required. With any experience at all you can pick SS and A that are not going to give outlandish ISO figures.
Use EC dial to sort out uneven lighting, and, usually, to expose so little or no highlight clipping.
Can't remember the last time I moved the ISO dial off A, and there is no reason why you can't get down to base ISO on auto @gdanmitchell?
