Just phoned Nikon UK and spoke to my friend in the NPS group.
Yes the D500 has the feature I want.
So Yes you can lock the shutter speed and/or aperture values by pushing on Preview button and then turning the command dial or sub-command dial.

Well done Nikon NPS.

I will go and place my order for a D500.
However I will have to wait for late April until it is released.
And just to prove it here is the latest set of menu screen shots from DP Review.

This is the important one for me.

Like I said, annoying it's been missed off the D750. It's menu has the ...choose image area and 1step settings.....but not the lock in between. :whip:

Yes I agree. It is potentially an item that could be added, I guess.

JK,
re: D500 user manual
Ususlly, the user manuals are put online, together with the first deliveries of a new camera.
So, you may have to wait one or two months.
Regards, Gilbert

Yes that is true, Gilbert.
But I have found out the information I needed about camera.

Ive also discovered a bug in the fn button configuration....it doesn't allow the horizon display as an assigned setting despite being a menu option.

It will be interesting if they do update the controls section of the custom menu...and add the lock feature.

Have you reported it to Nikon UK? Have they agreed that it is a bug?

No. The feature is of no use to me, I was just trying everything on the fn list to see if I could find the lock settings.

Has anyone had any information as to when deliveries of the D500 will be made in UK?
AFAIK the deliver date is now late April.

I have an order in with Amazon UK but it will be fulfilled out of Amazon EU so it comes to my door as soon as they have stock.

I have ordered mine from LCE Southampton but they said mid to late April but could be longer and no idea how many they will get in first batch. As I got my D810 and Nikon 500mm lens I hope they may be kind to me!
