In this case, Auto ISO would have resulted in a correct exposure (see the pic he posted of his settings).
good point.
I didn't see a pic.
Edit: until later in the thread.
Yea that ISO was a "tad" high. LOL.

To the OP: if you're interested in auto ISO, here's another homework assignment:

I am shooting in aperture mode and my pics are over exposed in bright sunlight. What should I do?
Check you exposure compensation, is it set to the + side. Check your metering mode, is it set to matrix metering or center metering, my favorite is matrix metering.
If you camera settings are correct and your still getting over exposed photo's it's time to call the company that produced your camera.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.
Another idea is to reset your camera setting to their default settings. On Nikon this is done pushing two buttons simultaneously.

ISO is way to high. If you want to shoot in the A mode & not worry about anything else, set your ISO to Auto. Are you saving your photos in raw or jpeg? If your shooting in jpeg, chose a White Balance like Sunny, Cloudy, etc. If your saving them in raw, chose Auto White Balance. Set your max ISO to what ever your comfortable with, maybe something like 2000-3200. Have fun, Tom

Your ISO is way too high. It looks like you’re shooting with your aperture at or close to wide open and the shutter speed is as fast as it’ll go. There’s no need to shoot at an ISO that high unless the light is pretty low.

Don't we have all we need? ISO = 2200???
shutter speed is maxed out at 1/8000 sec.
(aperture was f/2)
minor issue: + 0.3 compensation

I think that +0.3 wasn’t set, just the camera telling the OP that the scene is overexposed.

Since the aperture mode is actually automatic (the camera sets the other settings to match the chosen aperture), the two most probable reason you are over exposing is that the exposure compensation and/or the metering mode is not adjusted properly. Otherwise, the setting & scene combination is beyond the capability of the camera and may require accessories such as ND filters.
The camera doesn’t set the other “settings”, it only sets the shutter speed, UNLESS you also have auto ISO set. Auto ISO would never go to 2200 in this case.

I might also suggest getting a guide to your D500. Those be either Darrell Young or David Busch are very good.

What would this group do without you? You actually read what the OP’s write and look at what’s posted, then you seem to actually think before responding with a helpful reply. Thank you for setting a standard we should all try to attain. Your not alone but certainly among a small handful that can be counted on to advance photography through this forum.

Decrease the aperture size, increase shutter speed, increase ISO. Pick one. If that doesn't work, pick two.

Scene is over-exposed by way more than 1/3 stop, but I don't know the camera and I've already (correctly) guessed once in this thread, so I'll defer at this point I think that +0.3 wasn’t set, just the camera telling the OP that the scene is overexposed.
