Some of the newer cameras of some brands (Nikon?) do not come with a printed paper manual, you have to download (PDF) it or read it off the company's WEB site.


I know that the new Nikon Z8 and Z9 don't come with the Reference Manual.

One comment..."Do a factory reset" is a standard knee-jerk response to problems on this forum. Please do not get into that habit with your D500. It is unnecessarily brutal, erasing almost all of your custom setup configuration, will many times not fix the problem, and if it should happen to do the fix, you will never know what was initially the source of the trouble. It is much better to do a little diagnosis on your own, ask some questions, identify the real, underlying problem, and fix it once and for all. If it should happen again, you will know exactly what to do.

My personal mantra is Are Tee Eff Emm. Read The *Fine* Manual.

Macho brute force and other drastic measures do not work well or efficiently with precision instruments... There many valid reasons that the manuals for some modern cameras are over 1000 pages thick!

Thanks that sounds like good advise - I haven’t taken any steps at all to remedy the problem and when replies have ceased I’ll read them all again and decide on what to do!
