AETTR set back to original settings after shoot (when combined with dual-iso)

I am shooting stills with AETTR combined with dual-iso as it generates much less noise. I noticed that after shoot aettr keeps iso settings (that are again changed by aettr if needed), however when combined with dual-iso this requires to change base iso for each shot if I want to keep dr.
for example when I set dual iso 100-800 and combine it with aettr in specific light conditions after shoot base iso is set to (e.g.) 400-800 then for the next shoot I have to set base iso again to 100 manually.

I wonder if it is possible to make aettr to the original settings (in this case 100-800) after each shoot?
This option has a value only if aettr is used in combination with dual-iso?

thank you

The AETTR system will bring the iso back down if there is enough light, but you should not set the ISO directly in the Dual Iso module.  Instead you can set the ISO via +xEV.  In you example 100-800 ISO is the same a setting +3EV for Recovery Iso.  So change the Recovery ISO in Dual ISO module to +3EV.

The AETTR will chose the base ISO and then Dual ISO module will add +3EV for the Recovery ISO
100 base will be 800 recovery
200 base will be 1600 recover
etc.

thank you for prompt answer.
Maybe I did not explained this well enough: what is changing is base iso, not recovery.
let's say before shooting I have set ISO -100, dual-iso is set (recovery) to 800
then I use aettr
at the end iso is 400-800
if for the next shoot (same target, next shoot) I leave all as it is left by aettr (base iso 400) the noise is higher than if I set base iso back to 100 (plus original recovery iso 800). Target is the same and light conditions are same

The AETTR is determining that you need iso 400 as base for you scene.  If you want iso 100 as base then: lower shutter speed, choose a lower f-stop, or turn on some lights.

I understand this (it works perfectly with aettr only), but it seems that shooting aettr only or aettr with dual-iso is a little different.

O.k. I will modify settings manually if shooting aettr/dul-iso or leave it as they are for aettr if shooting aettr only.

thank you very much

It's working fine here.  Base ISO is only changing with scene luminance.
