On a Nikon D7200, the rear LCD turns on when adjusting settings like ISO, white balance, or image quality. I’d prefer to use only the top LCD/shoulder display most of the time to save power, and only turn on the rear screen manually when needed. Is there a way to stop the rear display from lighting up during these adjustments?

My D800 or D300 don't do that, but they have top buttons for those controls, and the top LCD (and viewfinder) show what you're doing then.
What does this rear LCD show then? The Info screen? Isn't it showing what you are setting? Not the same as disable, but you should be able to turn the Info screen off faster by tapping the info button, or by lightly tapping the shutter button. Tapping the shutter button turns off any display immediately. You probably have to finish your adjustment first.
Image Review in the Playback menu can disable the rear LCD showing the previous shot, but this sounds different.
There is a D9 menu for Info display, that says Manual or Auto. The manual is not detailed, that may not be On/Off, it might only be brightness?

On the D7200, there doesn’t appear to be a true setting to completely prevent the rear LCD from coming on when changing ISO/WB/QUAL. Those controls can trigger the rear Info display as part of normal operation.
What you can do:
- Press the shutter button halfway/lightly to turn the rear display off quickly.
- Use the Info button to dismiss the Info screen.
- Check the D9 “Info display” setting, though this is not clearly an on/off control for this behavior.
- If your concern is playback after each shot, disable Image Review in the Playback menu.
So the practical answer is: you likely can’t fully disable the rear LCD for those adjustments, but you can minimize it and turn it off quickly after making changes.
