This is the best lesson on D850 settings.

A really very precise and succinct video. After trawling through so many videos for the D850, this is for me the most informative tutorial for setting up my D850 for wildlife. I’m off to Etosha in June and am hoping to elevate the quality of my wildlife photography. Thank you!!!

Concise and to the point. Great video--a must see for any D850 owner. You rock, Host Danielle!

Your video has helped me a lot! Now I'll be getting better photos, and with much more convenient settings, than I've gotten with my D850 for the past three years. Thank you very much.

Coming back to my D850 after a few years off... OMG, this was so helpful, thanks!

Hello from the Caribbean. I had learned a lot from you guys for my working dogs photography, thanks for sharing so valuable knowledge and information. I do have a Nikon D850, still learning new features.

this is the sexiest video I've seen on how to customize a D850 ;) I set my focusing controls as you suggested, and it makes perfect sense. Good job-

When you finish setting up all of your custom settings, functions etc., etc., it's a good idea to save the settings to a cheap low capacity scratch memory card (Setup - Save/Load Settings). If your settings are somehow accidentally wiped out, you can simply reload them from the card instead of having to enter them all in again from scratch.

Thank you very much for the excellent presentation.

Whilst I don't have a D850, there are useful tips in this video for general use- a sign of a good informational video.

[emjones]

What an excellent clear concise presentation! Thank you!

Another great video Danielle, I setup my d850 very similar to your setup but I did find some things that I will change. As usual Pangolin has provided some excellent information, thanks for your willingness to share.

[NikCan]

Another excellent tutorial and always worthwhile checking out

I think you have highlighted a very important feature on the high end DSLRs and that is customising the buttons (PV or Fn 1) to a AF On and AF Area which you can't do on the Z cameras. On the Z cameras, you can have AF On assigned to the buttons but not AF On + AF Area. Having this customisation is really important to me as a wildlife photographer as it's possible to change from AF Area to AF Area using the buttons and all without having to take your eye away from the viewfinder on the D5 / D850 / D500. After all, a missed opportunity is a missed shot. Very informative video 👍

Just came across your channel. I wish I'd found it ages ago. This is excellent stuff. A reference manual, made easy with very clear instructions. Thanks.

[barrystent]

Your video has come at the perfect time for me as I'm currently looking at upgrading to the D850. Thank you for this useful information Danielle 🙂

[michaeldomanski]

Fantastic tips! Learned a ton by sitting with my camera and walking through everything you demonstrated.

[petermanson]

Great video, clear & easy to follow. Thank you

[derrickdu]

Thank you. Great tips. I labeled all my extra batteries like 1- 4 for example. This way, I can make sure all of them get used equal amount of times. This also help me to know which is empty when the batteries get mixed up in my bag.

My first camera is a D850 bought 1 year back & I'm loving it !
