[QUOTE="GracieAllen, post: 589892, member: 41283"] New D500. I'm one of those folks that actually reads manuals. But, in this case, the manual is NOT very explanatory. For example, "Customize Command Dials". In the manual, if you want to understand what this MEANS, it sends you to page 302. On which it says: Reverse rotation Change main/sub Choose the roles played by the main and sub command dials Aperture setting Menus and playback Sub-dial frame advance I know WHAT those dials are. I know I want the rotation reversed. All that's fine. What I DON'T know is exactly WHY I would either ignore or change "Aperture setting" for example. Or "menus and playback"... I'm finding quite a few of these sort of situations and doing a google search for "Nikon D500 customize command dials" isn't much help. I'm hoping someone has a pointer to a better source of info in the Internet......... Another example is the whole wifi, bluetooth, location info thing in the setup menu... I have NO interest in sending images from the camera to my cell phone. I put snapbridge ON, but can't EVER see using it. What I WOULD like is to get location info if possible for images. Of course, the recommendation is to save battery life by turning AIRPLANE MODE ON which kills ALL this as near as I can tell... BUT, it would be really useful if somebody can point me to a better source of fer-real, actual INFORMATION about exactly what I'm doing, why, the pros and cons of doing it, and HOW whatever it is will get me the location info... Just for example..... Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
