Hi, I've searched the manual and tried lots of things but can't work out why the 'NEF (RAW) Recording' in the photo shooting menu is greyed out. I would like to change the setting of the recorded RAW file but it won't let me for some reason??
Any suggestions?

Thanks

I don't have the d500, but it sounds like something is turned on that does not allow RAW. HDR comes to mind, that will prevent RAW. I'm not sure what else might disallows. You could probably do a reset, but it would be nice to find the conflict for next time. Start with checking the HDR setting.

Thank you Nick!:)
I have just sorted it thankfully. You can only adjust the type of RAW when the image size is set to Large. If it's set to anything smaller then the default is lossless compressed 12-bit.
Cheers!
