The Nikon D500 is a 20.9-megapixel professional digital single-lens reflex camera using an APS-C sensor. It was announced by Nikon Corporation on 6 January 2016 along with the Nikon D5 FX format camera.[1][2] It replaced the D300S as Nikon's DX format flagship DSLR.

- The D500 can be set to automatically delay its shutter release to compensate for flickering electric lighting. It is the first Nikon camera to include this feature, which was initially absent from the professional D5 announced on the same date.[3] This feature was added to the D5 via a June 2016 firmware update.[4]
Service advisory
The Nikon D500 uses the popular Nikon EN-EL15 battery and is shipped with the current Li-ion20 version. If used with the previous generation Li-ion01 version, the D500 may report a low amount of charge remaining, and take fewer shots than expected from a fully charged battery. On May 27, 2016, Nikon announced they will replace older EN-EL15 Li-ion01 batteries for D500 owners.[5]
