The problem is with sports, if you have it turned on it affects the FPS and when the camera takes a shot. So it's recommended for getting the shot especially if you use 10fps, to have it turned off. There's a short thread about it on TPF somewhere here that I think I started about the Flicker.A D500 has a Flicker feature to compensate for this.
Could always buy a new camera
I didn't know it did that! That's cool. No wonder it's such a great sports photo.

I haven't had the problem with my D500. Actually my D500 can't handle the super low light / bad lighting of the indoor soccer I've been doing. So I can only use the D600 / D750.The problem is with sports, if you have it turned on it affects the FPS and when the camera takes a shot.

While the manual reports that this could be a problem, I've not yet experienced it. Ive been shooting indoor sports in buildings with known cycling lights, at 10 fps, and not lost frame rate or experienced any hesitation.
I suspect that that slower shutter speeds you could run into it, but at 1/500+ it hasnt slowed my camera down at all.
If you think about it, you're shooting ten frames per second. The light cycles 60 times per second. That means that it just had to choose the brightest 10/60 cycles, which, in my experience, hasn't slowed my frame rate at all.

But another TPFer brought this issue up of when they did sports .. I'll search for the thread.

The Indoor soccer place has *bad* lighting too. Awful.I haven't had the problem with my D500. Actually my D500 can't handle the super low light / bad lighting of the indoor soccer I've been doing.

You're having problems with the D500 in low light? Weird. What iso are you working at?
I compared mine to a friends d610 and thought that my d500 was at least a stop better.
Msnowy just mentions that it could be an issue. I inquired if he's actually experienced it.
I read the warning that it could slow the shutter in my manual, but that hasn't been my experience as of yet.
