The new firmware update has just been released ... addresses the IOS connection problem, though I haven't tested it yet (no issues with the update).
Don't think I do mine as never use the iOS app

That's good to hear Stef, Snapbridge has been the source of much angst for most usersJust tried using the remote on it and transferred the pic straight to my phone. It seems good to me, connected perfectly
is that jpeg only still?Just tried using the remote on it and transferred the pic straight to my phone. It seems good to me, connected perfectly
Cracking image. How many shots are you getting out of a battery?Shifty by Frontline Fighters.com, on Flickr
surprised how battery hungry the d500 is.anyone else having the same?
Hmmm, slightly low that. Have you tried another battery?guessimate would be sub 900

Yes, it is by far the biggest battery hog of any camera I have used before.
I don't use wifi and have it permanently in airplane mode but it won't get anything like D810/D7200 battery cycle life.
Did they say why?When I bought my D750 the shop owner was talking about the D500 being battery hungry, you can apparently buy a Nilon larger amp/hr battery for it. It has been common knowledge for a while about the battery in a D500.
I get around 1100 images with my D500...
Before you swap it you mean?
Until the D750 replacement's announcedHA HA HA this going no where this is staying for now
I don't think you can get a larger capacity standard camera battery but by using a battery grip with a BL-5 and an EN-EL18a (I think) battery you can.When I bought my D750 the shop owner was talking about the D500 being battery hungry, you can apparently buy a Nilon larger amp/hr battery for it.

Yes that's another good option ... I think the lens used has an impact on battery life.I'm using the grip with 8 eneloop aa's and the battery seems to to be lasting for ages, not sure the exact length but never given it any thought. The bonus also you can buy a lot of eneloop for the price of 1 Nikon battery.
Did they say why?
It's only recently that after market batteries have been compatible so maybe he/she is referring to the original debacle of Li-ion 01 batteries being incompatible ... in my case I have only ever used the new Nikon batteries.We were talking batteries and he just mentioned D500 were a bit battery hungry and a few customers had had trouble with after market batteries such as hahnel etc and had to buy the more expensive Nikon batteries.
Definately an improvementShaved the beard have you pal
I get 1200+ from the D750, superb imo, and that's reviewing some shots too. Obviously if you use liveview it eats batteries though. Coming from mirrorless and Sony SLT where I'd struggle to get much more than 300 shots per battery the D750 is outstandingWhile talking batteries, I don't find the D750 brilliant, but I do review a lot of shots.
Didn't realise you could get different sized RAW other than using 12 bit or 14 bit?What size RAW are you guys using ? Im using the Medium currently.
Large for me.What size RAW are you guys using ? Im using the Medium currently.

Edit just seen that the D500 has different RAW sizes. How does this work then, is it just reduced resolution, i.e. Not the full 20mp?
RAW medium & small = smaller image = less pixels
Potentially.so lower IQ yes?
Depends on viewing medium. Don't forget HD monitors can only display around 2mp, even 4K is 'only' just over 8mp.so lower IQ yes?
