[QUOTE="nickt, post: 679564, member: 4923"] I always set it, but I'm the guy that goes through every menu setting and tries to understand what each setting does for me. It is obscure and the default is to allow the shutter. The only use would be for store demo or testing so I think the default should be to lock. On my d7100 and d7200's it comes up with a red 'demo' icon on the picture whens it's displayed. I just tried it and the image with 'demo' shows up even though I have automatic image review turned off, so you get a little warning. No reason not to lock it though. Even though I keep two cards in the cameras, I still manage to leave both out every once in awhile and this setting has saved me. Giving this deeper thought, I bet the default is set to allow the shutter because it saves some service calls.
