Nikon D500 touch screen

[Ulf C]

I just got the Nikon D500 delivered and I have an issue with the touchscreen.

When viewing Pictures taken, I can scroll with the direction pad as expected. Press on the right side to get to the next Picture, and press on the left to get to the previous Picture.

However when using the touch screen it doesn't work as it does on all other devices I ever encountered. When dragging your finger from the left to the right it actually goes to the next picture and not to the previous. I guess that Nikon's rational here is to match pressing on the right and dragging to the right. But this is not a normal behaviour of a touch screen. But apprently I'm the only one that has a problem with this?

Is there a setting to change the behaviour? I could not find any.

And since I started posting I have one other question. Is it possible to connect more than one device with Snapbridge to the phone at the same time? I Would like to use my phone to retreive the GPS information but I would like to transfer pictures to my tablet for preview. I'm guessing not.

Good find, thanks! I spent my entire weekend flicking the wrong direction every time I'd open playback so- clearly you're not the only one that finds their thought process kinda backwards.

Not all cultures read left to right. Makes sense to have both available.
