Just a completely off the track idea....
The fix on my D810 for a similar problem was to set the camera's sleep/standby timer to 30 minutes. Custom menu C2 on the D810, should be around there too with the D500. By default it was 4 seconds, which made the camera sleep, and nine out of 10 times when I wanted to access a menu or look at my shots, I would get the hourglass symbol and a 3 second wait before something came up.
Thank you.
Your correct about accessing the menu. Just tried it and after turning the camera on and leaving it for a bit and then trying to access the menu there was a slight delay.
After adjusting the standby timer it's instant now. Took a couple of frames and the image displayed straight away.
So I put the timer back at 6seconds as was the default. Left the camera sit for a minute and took a photo and the hourglass came up for a few seconds before the image showed.
Putting the timer back to 30 minutes and leaving the camera for a while and taking a photo the image showed straight away with no sign of the hourglass.
This seems to have fixed it. Obviously with a bit more use I'll know for sure.
Thanks for the great tip.
