I use a Nikon D610 in the studio and sometimes the command dials get bumped after I’ve set my exposure. Is there any camera setting that locks the shutter speed and aperture controls, or any practical way to prevent accidental changes?

On the Nikon D610, there does not appear to be a built-in menu or software option to lock the command dials specifically for shutter speed and aperture changes. In practice, the only real prevention is to avoid the dials being bumped physically.

A practical workaround is some kind of physical protection or cover that keeps the wheels from being turned accidentally, but be careful with any add-on or material you place around the controls so it doesn’t interfere with operation or leave residue.

If your shooting setup allows it, using an exposure mode that fixes one setting automatically may reduce accidental changes, but there’s no dedicated dial lock for both shutter and aperture on the D610.

You'll prevent it if you're attaching something to your camera to protect the wheels themselves from being knocked. As far as I know, there's no software sided option to lock up specific proprieties, aside the priority modes. Be careful if you're placing something in it, as it could turn to be sticky.
