Autofocus is less speedy when using Live View but it’s unlikely that you’ll be using Live View to shoot action. The app and mobile device can also be used to shoot remotely with options to shoot in program auto, shutter priority, aperture priority or manual exposure modes. Exposure compensation, ISO and white balance adjustments can be made directly from the app. It’s pretty typical when it comes to functionality and can be a real bonus when you want or need to share images in the field. Nikon D500 review: Verdict
The Nikon D500 did a good job of balancing the exposure in this high contrast scene. But given the tendency of the Nikon D500’s autofocus to occasionally search for focus and the fact that seabirds might fly into and out of the scene, I thought manual focus would work better here. You can't change any of the camera settings from the app, and when you are remotely shooting, you can't change the settings on the camera either, which is a little frustrating. The app could definitely do with some improvement, especially when compared to other manufacturers remote shooting apps. There's an option on the camera that will automatically send photos to your smartphone once you've set up the connection, and there is an option to leave this transferring images when you've switched the camera off. This feature can be switched on and off, and if you're concerned about your battery life dropping, then you can switch on the Airplane mode, which will switch off all communications.PS .... If any of you guys use a third party grip are there any particular makes that you`d recommend Stepping outside the world of Nikon, one close competitor to the D500 is the 7D Mark II from Canon. However, the D500 has the advantage of being released about 15 months after the 7D Mark II, so it’s undeniably the more advanced camera. Perhaps surprisingly, the D500 is also larger and heavier than both the D610 and D750 FX bodies. You won’t be buying this one to save space and weight. It’s not until you get to the second largest camera in the Nikon DSLR range, the D810, that you have something a little larger than the D500. The D810’s grip is fatter than, but not as deep as, the D500’s grip. Both are very good but I have a preference for the D810’s shape. Shutter speeds are available from 1/8000th second to 30 seconds. There’s a Bulb setting for extra long exposures. The camera has a sync speed of 1/250th second and several self-timer modes. The latter include 2, 5, 10, 20 second durations with 1 to 9 exposures at various intervals. The Nikon D500 is the long awaited update to the Nikon D300s, and is a professional APS-C Digital SLR with high speed continuous shooting, and the latest Wi-Fi connectivity.
The Nikon D500 features low-power Bluetooth connectivity, to enable easy image transfer to a smartphone using Nikon's new SnapBridge software. On Android (and later iOS) devices, Nikon's SnapBridge software can be used to setup a connection to the smartphone, and then you can transfer images, shoot remotely, and add GPS information. With a compatible Android device you can also use NFC to connect the camera to the smartphone. Nikon D500 Handling With the D500 anything moving I use 25-point dynamic-area AF & AF-C. It nails every shot every time. Never before possible with previous Nikon DX bodies. I have used both OEM and 3rd party Grips, and can say without a doubt that OEM's have an edge over the lesser quality 3rd party,

Now i own a Nikon D750 as well from past 18 months. The Nikon D750 warms up also but not before 8 mins of shooting video and certainly not while taking stills. Also get Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon D500. Appx 1000 pgs. You can create bookmarks and since its pdf have on every device so always with me: Our used products are subject to wear and tear in comparison to brand new products. This also applies to accessories that are supplied with the camera including batteries which may have a lower optimum performance level/life expectancy. The dste en-el18a doesn't use a tray. It also includes the end cap with a built in charger. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work with the generic grips?
