Open snapbridge, pair D500 with bluetooth on iPhone
Once paired, click camera icon at bottom -> download selected pictures
Click yes on the pop up, then manually go to wifi settings and choose D500
DO NOT return to snap bridge, instead open WMU app and click the little wifi icon in the upper left, you are now connected
Download files using WMU, including RAW much more quickly
Anyone struggling with Snapbridge to transfer images to ios and wished they had WMU as they did/do on the D7200?
I found this yesterday on another forum, I haven't tried it yet but if it works as detailed then that's all I need to quickly transfer images (including RAW) from the D500 to my iPhone
Can't imagine who decided it was fit for purpose TBH!Just wasted about an hour trying to connect mine to Snapbridge on my iPhone. Frustrating, it won't even connect!!
I just threw mine up in the for sale section. It's a lovely camera but I just don't have the time to use it (I'm a workaholic and that dominates my life). You guys are all taking fantastic images with the D500 and each time I come back into the thread I say to myself 'I really must take this camera out', but it never seems to happen. So rather than have it gather dust in a cupboard ...
Not heard anything so I would be getting it off for repair.Getting a flashing Err message on the top LCD. I've updated the firmware to 1.11 and still get it.
I have to press the shutter button to get it back to working, this mostly works. Seems like the mirror is sticking.
Tried with different lenses and without a lens also.
Anyone else come across this? Any solution?
After using Nikon for nigh on 35 years, and as recently as the start of this year having 4 bodies (D7200, D810, D750 and D4), they have all gone and for the last month or so when the D810 went, the only one I have had is the D500. I know it's touted as a sports and wildlife camera but for me, it really is a jack of all trades. Happy shooting birds with a 600mm at ISO 12,800 or taking great landscape photos at ISO 100 with the 16-85 or Sigma 10-20. I really don't need any more than 21mp.
The only other Nikon I've ever had that I "connected" with in the same way was my D3s from about 5 years ago, which as soon as I'd sold it - regretted it straight away.
Think I'll hold onto the D500 until it falls apart and dare I say, with my Micro four thirds system maturing more and more each year, it could well be my last DSLR ever !

Hi
Would you say the d500 better than the d750
I think thanks 10 fps the shutter count is going to be an issue trying to sell them on in 4-5 years, so yes, think I'll be holding on to mine until it falls apart too
LOLAny d750 owner moved to a d500 pls and how you rate it

Yes I did, I was using focal pro and hadn't let the software reset the camera. Have you done this at all? It was weird sound like it was stuttering I did panic, but after reconnecting it back to ththe software I let it run a full reset and its been fine since, I did log it with Nikon but they said monitor it and didn't give any insight if it was an issue, thus I think it was the software.Getting a flashing Err message on the top LCD.

Hows does this Auto AF Fine Tune behave does it work as it says on the Tin?
Plenty in other parts of the forumIt amaze me that there no many users in here posting their stunning work with this camera...
What D500 owners images??
Have a look at some of Chris's too from a visit to Spain: https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/alicante-spain-birding-week.640732/
He sure had taken some stunners too..
What your fave lens for this as there so many choices out there
Mmmmm, 500mm f4My interest is mainly wildlife so I use a 500mm f4 VR and 300mm f4 PF VR with 1.4 and 1.7 teleconverters.
For other work I have a 24-120mm f4 as walkabout, an 80-200 f2.8 for some sport, 15mm f2.8 and a couple of others.
Really nice pics above, especially like the kingfisher, a bird that has alluded me all my life
I'm determined to at least see one one day, preferably get a picture of one too. Living in the Peak District you'd think it'd be relatively easy to get to see one but......They do their best to avoid me too mate ... hours wasted

Chatsworth House is a splendid location for bird watching as it stands in the midst of a wooded park, and has pastureland as well. The River Derwent winds through the parkland, and is an excellent spot to see Sand Martins, Grey Wagtails, and Goosanders. In the winter, you may even see Siskin and Redpoll. Year round species include Kingfisher, Grey Heron, Tufted Duck, Little Grebe, and Dipper.
