Watched that, good info again from Steve. I tried to set up my D500 to do that center joystick push to get the virtual horizon, no way could I get it to work.

Thanks! I'll watch it tomorrow! I leave on Friday for a birding trip!

Thanks, very interesting as is most all of Steve's videos. Always pick up something from these.

Good info except maybe the ‘get wet’ tip. Putting the tide behind you is not good advice

Very inspiring...makes me want to get out there and photograph some birds!

I would be hesitant to position my camera too close to the water level. A few years ago, I had my gear bathed in saltwater due to a rogue wave...and that wasn't fun. Since then, I don't trust my judgement in terms of when one of these waves will be approaching!

I got it to work on my D500. Are you sure you picked center joystick and not the one above it which is directional joystick?

I'm pretty sure I was center joystick. The menu seems to highlight the button you want to use. I couldn't see what to do next. I finally gave up.

Got it. Had to push the ? button to bring up more selections.

Me. Just not in the water.

I've heard that's only recommended when there are gators in the water...
