Over the past week or so, the shutter-release button on my D500 has been intermittently failing to respond. I press repeatedly, nothing happens, and then finally it resumes working. I thought that my winter gloves might be pushing the on/off switch, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Any ideas on whether this is something I can fix? I found this suggestion online, but am leery of spraying oil into the body: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-fix-Press-Shutter-Release-Button-Again-er/ (I've never seen a "press shutter release button again" message in the viewfinder, but I haven't checked the monitor on the back when it happens.)
