Bird focus tracking is all over the place. Trying to keep eye focus on the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. The focus would jump from the head to the reflection of the head. All Egrets’ focus jumped from head to body, then hot spot in the water. The same thing happened with Great Blue Herons, with Osprey; it would jump from the head to a white spot in the wings. This didn’t happen with Mallard ducks, Great Cormorants, and Gulls. (low contrast eye to body birds)
I did a factory reset, reloaded 3.0, then 3.01, and still no improvement.

Peter,
Thanks for the heads up. Although I’m not a wildlife photographer nor have I spent any time exploring these focus tracking features (although little bit with the backyard birds…) , but I appreciate you posting.
This begs the question on whether or not there may be other “issues” with the fw upgrade? I may hold off for a bit to make sure all the issues are worked out.
Have you heard or experienced anything else? reached out to Nikon? curious.
