Had a telephone call with Graham Whistler as he had a problem getting rid of the Virtiual Horizon form his D850 viewfinder. I had the reverse problem in that I couldnt get it to stay on. I have this customised on my Z7 so I can switch it on/off on a fun switch. So here is the solution. Attachment: image001.jpg (Downloaded 68 times)

I find it a bit underwhelming that we now have three places to change a lot of thinks. There is the i button, the Camera System Menus and the Info button. Nikon you really need to look at this again. Everything needs to be in the Camera System Menus with the Info and i buttons being used for rapid changes where you are shooting and dont want to struggle through the menus. BTW: I think the same is applicable on the D500 as well.

On my Z7 I can do the change in the CSM menus in fact I have it as a customised button. One press on or off.

I have never used 2 of them as they are 'alien' to me. But I guess that's the dilemma ....someone else may prefer to use the two I don't.

The problem is that some of the items you would expect to be in the menus has been moved to the i and Info buttons.

Think of it like this, it's a way to keep a ageing brain working.

Seems to be a feature of modern info tech - things are included because they CAN be, not because they are NEEDED! Used to have the same issue with building engines for people - they would ask for things because they were offered for people who needed them - the question I always asked first was "how do you drive the car?" - if they always changed up before 3000 rpm then they needed a cam that produced low down power and carbs that produced high gas flow at low revs. But a mild cam and the smallest carbs doesn't sound sexy, so they would ask for a competition cam and big carbs which actually gave them LESS power below 3000 rpm.... but the customer is always entitled to ignore my advice and give me more money

I actually find the virtual horizon very useful as I seem to have a natural slant in the way I hold a camera. I frequently have to rotate frames a few degrees in PS to correct my horizontal, if I don't use it.  My pelvis is 1/2†lower on right side due to years of road running (facing traffic, right hip in gutter camber) without realising the damage.  Which might account for my photographic list to port.🤣

Eric do you have the Virtual Horizon programmed to a Fn button? If so which one? Or do you access it via the Info button?
