7 COOL Features I Discovered On My New Nikon D850

- Come along with me on my first Photo Adventure with the Nikon D850! I'm sharing some of the cool features I discovered as I set up the menus. We start off a little rocky trying to find the perfect snowy location... I checked all the weather/road reports and this area was supposed to have been slammed with snow (apparently the storm shifted slightly). Lol! But we end up finding snow and the perfect location to test out Focus Shift, one of the features I was most excited to play with. I hope you enjoy!

Whoa, my camera's crooked!
Here's the backstory... I left the house forgetting to transfer my regular tripod mount from my D7000 to the D850. So I had to use the extra one I carry with me for emergencies. No matter what I try, I can't attach it both securely AND straight! So I opted for secure over straight. My camera may appear to be sliding off the tripod, but rest assured, it's completely secure.
Next time I'm out in the field I'll have an L-Bracket Tripod Mount that will make switching from Portrait to Landscape much smoother.
So tell me, what workarounds have you had to do when out in the field?
I did have to hump a useless Manfrotto 055XProB tripod around Kings Park one time because I left the plate home....
Invest in a L-bracket for the D850. Much better to use when mounted portrait on a tripod
@@DrAdrianRowley Already ordered. ✔️ It arrived yesterday and I’m excited to start using it.
@@DrAdrianRowleyI never use an L Bracket and much prefer to use Manfrotto 501 quick release plates. I'm not keen on little Kirk brackets either, so even convert them to except the 501 plates using the Manfrotto MN77.
I bought my D850 a month ago and I feel good upgrading to 6 year old gear. Such a great camera!
Congrats on your new camera, hope you’re loving it, too!
850 is a beast for the $$$
From d7000 to d850 is an unimaginable leap. You have to be shocked. I have the d850 too, it is a great camera. If you read the manual you will learn many many new features. Your excitement about the camera made me to appreciate my camera more. Thank you, happy shooting
Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re excited again about your D850, too. It’s blown me away with how much it can do. I’ll definitely take your tip of going through the manual. I think I’m going to need to carry it with me in the field for a while! Lol!
Funny many apsc users hated full frame users , they had thre idea we was putting them down , how using hi def sensors and pro lenses(affordable £500 each) you have the trinity for £1500 ! The results are astoundingly sharp, the d850 is the perfect camera , buying mirrorless your forever upgrading to the mk 2 and mk 3 and four , theyre obsolete when you leave the shop !
What a fun Photo Adventure! I'm enjoying watching you see what your new camera can do. And aren't those mountains beautiful! 🌲🌲🌲
Thanks, it was such a fun and relaxing way to spend the day! 💕
Great adventure found it really interesting and your new camera looks amazing such beautiful scenery. really enjoyed the super smooth drone shots especially the one of the creek with the gimbal all the way down whilst rotating awesome
Awww, thanks! That’s my favorite type of shot to get with the drone… so dramatic. 🥰
Loved Idaho (from the little bit I saw of it) on a recent road trip. I basically dipped into Idaho when heading back to UT via Grand Teton, and loved what I saw. I need to explore Idaho and Montana much more in the future. Great channel, keep the cool vids coming!
Nice video. Thank you👍
Beautiful, clear and un -pretentious video making. Infectious enthusiasm. If this video does not inspire you in your photography, then, something is not quite right. Long live Idaho and long live Nikon.
I love your comment! I do have fun out on my photography adventures. Thanks for joining me!
@fryuppe Would you mind if I added your comment to my website in order to highlight our RUclips channel? -Misti
Thanks for sharing
Hi there, first time viewer. I ran across this channel and I'm glad to see other photographers sticking with this great gear. I personally don't have any plans to change my gear, at least not in the near future as I'm still very happy with my D850 and other D bodies. I've subscribed and look forward to more videos using your DSLRs. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the sub! Glad you found my corner of RUclips!
Great video. Your enthusiasm is exhilarating! I have a D850 and love that camera But I also use an older D700 for its nice color renditon.
Thanks! Glad to meet another D850 fan!
Funny you say that, the colors are better in my D500 than from the D850.
Hello from Vernon , Canada. I enjoyed your video but I'm not sure your excited enough ... lol. It's great to see such enthusiasm and excitement, got me to get up and start shooting again.
Thanks again ...
Hello, to my northern neighbor! Wow, thanks so much! Glad you’re shooting again.
Love your excitement! I know the feeling, every time I open a new box of camera gear. I recently upgraded my D750 to the D850 and I love it. I also have a Lumix MFT system when I want to travel light or do some casual street photography. I love my Nikon D cameras too much to want to go mirrorless (other than my MFT) anytime soon. Have fun with that little beast, and enjoy going on photo adventures!
Thanks for your comment! I hope you’re enjoying your D850, too… it is a beast!
Hi Misti, such a cool place (Idaho City)!!! Like stepping back in time!
I've been shooting with a D7000 for the past 10 years and have been looking at getting the D850 as well. Such a great camera!!
I enjoy watching your videos! Keep shooting and all the best to you from Canada! :)
Gord
The D7000 was a constant companion for the last 10 years for me too! It’s a great camera! The D850 is a dream of mine and I have to say I have no regrets at all. Thanks so much for your kind comment! It’s nice to meet a neighbor to the north! 👋
@lovethatshotadventures hi, just stumbled across your video, it was fun recalling many trips to eastern Idaho and NW Wyoming. I had progressed from D7000 (~8 years) and then to D7200 -D500-D850 in two years... I cannot imagine the biplane to rocket ship leap you made! I wish I could keep every Nikon I ever had, but settled on holding onto my original FE as display memory. For me having a D500 and D850 covers all the bases - speed to saturation and wide dynamic range, DX and FX... Enjoy the journey!
I love your “biplane to rocket ship leap” analogy… describes the experience perfectly! 👌
Thanks for sharing the video , i was hoping the see B&W snow and land and water ... thanks again
I’ll have to break out and do some more B&W here and there. I’m drawn to color so it makes up the majority of my photography. Thanks for watching!
I would like to make a quick suggestion.
I have the D850, please check into the Carl Zeiss lens for nikons. The older models lens are the ones you should look for, Manual Focus Lens. I have the 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm.
You can't go wrong.
I use mostly the Focus peaking mode in live view and touch shot.
I found mine on KEH, AND Allens camera store.
Watch a few RUclips videos on the lens.
Good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Just found your channel and I love it! I left my D850 for a Z7II. I miss my old D850 and my F Mount lenses!!! I want to go back! 😩
Welcome to the channel, glad to have you here! I’m curious what it is about the Z7II that makes you miss the D850?
Love this video, seems especially appropriate for me. I'm older (72) and don't wish to change all my stuff over to mirrorless, thinking one more camera to last me the rest of my life will be a D850, should never have to buy another. However should buy it soon as the DSLR may become obsolete soon (as far as buying a new one) so your comments are especially appreciated . And I absolutely love the setting, an old town with a western flair and gorgeous scenery , nice work!
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I do believe the D850 is built to last. This thing is a tank! 😁
Thank u for your review on the D-850
Yes your Video is a year old...
I will follow your utube site
kudos to You
Boston ❤️ Massachusetts
Nice video, without the common bla bla bla
Great area you live in
The D850 is such a nice camera, I’ve one as well since a few mounths
How fun, I hope you’re enjoying your new camera, too! I’m glad you enjoyed the adventure. I do love where I live!
Bought a d750 in 2017 and then bought a d850 Xmas 2022! Did not want a mirrorless as I have loads of D lenses. Great camera, love it and btw I’m a TV broadcaster, great presentation and video edit.
Thanks so much, that means a lot to me! I’m new at this video thing and have been trying to learn anything and everything cinematography. Enjoy your D850, too!
Agreed, a lot of production value in a youtube offering...
@@snmr1318 Thanks so much!
Just found your channel. Very cool. I also upgraded, went from a Nikon Z6 to a Nikon F4. Going back to nostalgic film, so exiting !
Awesome, film is so much fun! It really slows you down and makes you think about pressing the shutter. Enjoy your nostalgic gear!
Why downgrading?😲😲😲😲
I still have an F5 somewhere in the house.
Just upgraded from D7500. It's certainly heavier but yea the dynamic range and image size are just perfect 👌
Hi there! Just discovered your channel here in Belgium. Your excitement over the camera is nice to see. I do have a question though. Why did you opt for the D850 over Nikon's new Z-line? Thx a lot and greetings from Belgium, Pascal
Nice to have you here, Pascal! I talk about my reasons for choosing the D850 in my unboxing video here:
ruclips.net/video/TEbLy2SbcS4/видео.html
The Nikon D850 in live view has a electronic shutter if there are not fast moving subjects its good to use as its less wear and tear on the mechanical shutter. But you might loose a little dynamic range. But the upside is there is zero shutter shock.
Hehe… I had to turn on the shutter sound when I was practicing focus stacking. I couldn’t tell if it was doing anything at first so I had to give myself a signal it was done. Lol! But great tip! I definitely want to save on wear and tear. 👍
Качество фото D850 по моим понятиям лучше чем Z7ii и Z9 !
Im looking to buy one, how is the auto focus on it? And work done in low light how does the Camara hold up
I’m very pleased with the auto focus. I’m also very pleased with its low-light capabilities. In fact just a few weeks ago I was able to capture color from the northern lights that weren’t at all visible with the naked eye in my city location (light pollution). I’m so happy with the D850! If you do decide to purchase, I would be very grateful if you used my affiliate link (amzn.to/3ZfWBih). It helps me keep going with the channel! 😊
Hello... intresting and i understand your choice ... i m also have the same question for my camera gear. I have a d780 and like to shoot on screen. Check the pict at 100%. Most of my lenses are manual ais.. probabely if z8 would be cheaper, i would get it but d850 in secondhand seems to be a good alternative Love from belgium.
☀️📷☀️
Hello to Belgium! Glad you found my video interesting. I wish you luck with your camera choice… can’t go wrong either way!
I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old d850 , i can get perfect shots just using in cam tweeks , wether i massively under expose to get the sky then just up the dynamic contrast in camera gives perfect ballance every time , no editing from flat to vivid ,click right into contrast sharpen saturation , tweek white ballance , lock it in , so many settings editing is now obsolete for me , perfect every time
Perhaps you used the "My Menu" in your D7000? It is the most important 'user interface' feature for me. It has the dozen or so menu items I either use for every photo session (changing the image folder number, checking batteries, ...) or use twice a year but tend to forget (set Time/Date & Daylight Savings Time).
As setting which the D7000 has, and the D850 gives more options for, is the "d5: Exposure Delay Mode", especially intended for your genre of photography. [But it's really annoying having it on when photographing an event...]
Perhaps less important for landscapes, but very useful for some other photography genres is Rating pictures. I have a function button set for that during playback, so pressing that function button and turning the dial gives 1-5 stars. Any time I'm photographing a subject, whether a wedding or portrait session, if I show the person a picture they really like, I immediately give it 3*** so I know that is one of the ones to deliver.
Enjoy your photo adventure with the D850!
Great tips! I didn’t know about the photo rating feature. I can definitely see myself using that one for sure! 👍🏻
I use my D850 having two D800 s, for my wildlife photography with 400mm f 2.8 especially for leopards . This is an amazing camera to go with a prime lens , takes grat pictures unimaginable in Quality with an exceptionally good speed for this big cat
Wow, what an incredible subject! Would love to see your work.
Certainly , can . This is an elusive big cat find in this small island country Srilanka with many other interesting mammals such as a few kinds Deer , Boars, Buffaloes, Sloth Bears crocks and the majestic Asian Elephants . Here one could find large number of Elephants during the migrating season where they look for water and grasses especially, is a beautiful spectacle over sometimes hundred or more, to watch in the grass growing areas of large water holes. Of course, because of land availability for a such a large beast always trouble both Elephants and people living in these areas going through a sad reality. Leopards are find in national parks and out which l photograph mostly , a beautiful cat always have a secret agenda to avoid people and photographers. I am lucky enough to see it if time is spent and have "Eagle eyes" . How can l show these pictures? Just let me know so l could share and more than happy to show some beautiful pictures of these beautiful animals .👍 Shantha.
@@shanthaw527 Wow, it sounds so exotic where you live! Are you on Instagram, or another picture-share platform? You can share the link here in a comment. 😊
Great video, thanks! Is the video taken with a D850?
Thanks so much! We actually used the iPhone 13 Pro to film this video, since I was using the D850 for photography in the video. But I hear the D850 has excellent video quality.
I just ordered the Z7 ll. Still hasn’t arrived. Shopping for a lens. Leaning towards the Nikon z 24-70 2.8. My concern is weight. But watch ur video I see it looks like you handle weight of the lens pretty good.
I used my 24-70 for a few hours tonight on a Photo Adventure and you do notice the weight after a bit. Having my camera on my cross-body strap helped when not in use, and of course, when I used a tripod it wasn't an issue. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't let the weight stop me, it's a great lens!
Love your video. I lived in snow. It is pretty but I would not want to be in it. Enjoy your 850 in good health. Ready for a Z8 or 9 ?
is the high mp sensor causing you to use high shutter speeds to avoid hand held sharpness issues? Besides the 1/focal length rule....... Thanks Martin
I haven’t noticed anything to the point where I feel limited at all. I have been using slightly faster shutter speeds (nothing too significant though) because my lenses are longer/heavier and I want to compensate for any movement that might cause handholding. What I’ve experienced is a noticeable increase in sharpness from my previous camera/lens setup. Prior to upgrading to the D850, I was using the D7000 and entry-level lenses, so I’m seeing improvement in my image quality for sure.
Thank you for responding. I dont know where the thought originated but I have been thinking as resolution increased that camera movement / image smear increased and if too low of shutter speed, image sharpness suffered. Best wishes for your project.
Work Arounds......One of the most common ones and annoying is not carrying my circular polarizer on me. However
I am beginning to and will definately on vacation. Because without it, shooting thru glass causes reflections and with it eliminates
the glass. You don't need to be in a museum far from home shooting thru glass and slap yourself over annoying reflection, Having a great
sky of clouds and not making them pop off the page is short changing your ability to use all your knowledges and enhance the final image.
And no Photoshop helps, but it's not the same. Writing check list notes of things to bring is so easy....just do it. Like your vacation list of things to bring.....one you'll forget....an umbrella and after it rains on your parade is not the time to look for that list, Always start with...Rain Gear !
I’m with you… I love making lists! I’d forget everything if it wasn’t written down. 😁
what lens is that you are using?
Hi Joan! I'm using my 24-70mm lens on these photos. If you'd like to see my settings for each one, I have those listed on my website here: lovethatshot.com/15811
What did you shoot the video with?
We used the iPhone 13 Pro to shoot the video, the overhead shots were with our DJI Mini 3 Pro drone.
outstanding accurate focus on photography ~~ everyone would benefit from this video
Thanks so much, Neil! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Cool content, I just did not get your statement that you are trying out your new D850 camera in 2023? I am still using my D850, but only due to nostalgic reasons to remind me on the real art of photography.
Some of us buy a still great D850, because we cannot chase more expensive options. It is still a very capable camera. A bit heavier but still a great camera.
Considering your photography style, the Nikon D850 will please you with its features. 🙂
Thanks, I’m really loving it so far!
L bracket makes mounting the camera to the top of the tripod makes it more stable
I totally agree. I bought one shortly after this video, and I love it! My new favorite piece of gear this year. 👍🏻
👍
Your doing fine. I think your getting it. It's a complicated camera.
Thanks! I'm really enjoying getting to know it.
Got myself a brand new used one last year - and am still discovering it. But would never EVER used it without a strap. Never did with any NIKON - and never will. Sometimes you want both hand s free and always you want to be safe to NOT drop the camera!
Hi, new viewer here. I was wondering about your gear so I clicked on your "Take a peek at the rest of my hear here:" link but there's no other links there to see your gear. 🤷🏼♂
Thanks for clicking over to my gear page! The links are images, so it might take a second for them to load. Each of the images are clickable to either products (affiliate links) or review posts I’ve written.
@@lovethatshotadventures Thanks, the images loaded. It's odd that they didn't load until I refreshed the page. 🤷🏼♂
I wanted to make sure there wasn’t a glitch, so I cleared my website cache and it seems to be working for me. Let me know if you continue to have trouble.
@@TC_Conner I’m glad it’s working for you. It could have been the cache issue. Thanks for letting me know!
I have the d810 from d7100 so the difference between d850 vs d7000 is astronomical 😊 keep clicking
It is indeed! I’m really enjoying it. 😊
The D850 will give you shutter shock, the huge amount of pixels will show all your faults you never knew you had in your 12 megapixel cameras. I thought I could hold the camera still from 60 to lower ....what an absolute shock ! It has slapped me in the face and Exposed
the real unsteady soft image, plus why to calibrate your lens to each camera, they really don't automatically work together !
If you haven’t already done so don’t forget to fine tune your lenses.
Come to think of it, I remember fine tuning the lenses I had when I first got the camera, but I don’t think I did the 70-200. Thanks for the reminder! 👍
Great Video, although your excitement was partially debilitating 😂
My exuberance tends to pop out when I’m having fun! 😆
@lovethatshotadventures
Dido...
I'm rocking a D810 & D600, wanting a D850.
Can only imagine how great the new Mirrorless are..
I refuse to pay the extortionate prices presently, I'd rather wait & receive the Tech at low prices in future.
Whos the voice in the background your husband?
Yep, that’s my husband, Steve.
Love my D850 - Even though my Z9 is a fantastic camera ... 🦘
👍
