I have seen these type of glitches happen before on other cameras. I put it down to sh1t happens, cosmic ray, or some other random event. Like Eric says it is a nuisance and easily fixed or redone.

I had my D500 early this year shut down all settings in middle of bird reserve but I think it may have been my error hitting reset button. No pixs lost but had to put back all my default settings and counter went back to zero. I was trying to change focus setting in very bright sun and must have got into wrong menu.

Well, I don't understand this... Not only has your camera mis behaved, I have only just spotted this thread. I look in numerous times a day, this thread wasn't visible, I responded yesterday on another thread. Not only that but Grahams new post with the starlings waiting for breakfast this morning was below this post with a new post marker but this thread had no marker??? Bloody digital stuff, we need analogue computers, might be more reliable, a big heavy diesel engined computer throbbing away in my bedroom!!! Anyway, sorry to hear of your issue Eric, I too have had similar with the D3, the intervalometer refused to work. I was tearing my hair out with frustration high on a mountain on Skye, 2am and trying to take a star trails sequence. It turned out the clock had zeroed itself. It had restarted but the intervalometer won't work until the clock has been set to correct time, or any time I suppose but it HAS to have been set, not just started from default time, before the intervalometer will function. Some of the presets I use had reverted to default settings. I think some of the settings are in a different section of memory because they had survived. I assume the clock battery had had a silly moment, I haven't replaced it, the time is still correct, well apart from still being on BST, not GMT... Need to take the daylight saving off. It's entirely possible it was caused by swapping the lens without turning the camera off. With the complexity of the PF lenses I suggest you try to remember to turn the camera off before switching lenses else the lens might misbehave. BTW, does the PF lens remember the stored focus point even after being dismounted from the camera?

I agree abput turning off camera to change lenses. With the earely CCD cameras they remained charged and invited dust to settle. So this routine has stayed with me.

I think that this is an important item to remember. Nikon have always said ever since the introduction of AF that the camera should be switched off when changing lenses. A parallel to this would be moving your mains powered desktop between rooms you need to unplug it. Now you could just pull the plug with the computer in full editing of an i age and see what happens. Yes because the OS and the applications now are pretty clever when you plug it in again it will restart and frequently it will restart the application butwjether or not you get your image back in its final edited state or in its original form is not guaranteed. Camera lenses are electical addtions to the (mobile computer) camera so we need to take a little extra care these days. I know that frequently we get away with it but....... not always!
