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!!!
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.
Wonderful, this tip:but I am in travel in the Bretagne at the moment. So I have put the save settings to my card which was in the second slot. After that.i tried to look on the card with my d5 (not the ď850, but the settings are almost the same),in the different folders, but I couldn't find a file with a name:saved settings, or something like that. I guess that it works only when you press load settings🤔🤔. On the d5, it's not possible to see a file with a name saved settings, perhaps on the computer. It's not a question from the first importance, but it would be great to have an answer. Thanks so much for your explanations which are so much cristal clear 😃😃👍👍
Well, I was so curious that I tried first to reset all the settings, and second to load them again. For the information of those who have not already done that, it works 😊👍. But there is an exception :the settings, the banks and their names are loaded again, but not the contains of the banks:a, b, c, d. You have to set the contents of the banks again, speed, aperture and, Iso. Because every bank was on mode P. Due to the reset. But this goes very quickly in comparison to the settings of all the camera. Wish all the best and thanks again Danielle for your Cristal clear explanations. It's an intellectual pleasure to hear you 😊👍😊🤗
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.
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.
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 👍
Yes I must say when I shoot with my D750 again I miss that customization. I've had a few people complain about that in the Z camera. Thanks Gary -Danielle
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.
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.
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.
@@PangolinWildlife Hi Danielle. Following on from my last comment I was wondering what lens(s) you might recommend in the 70-300mm range? Price wise, I'm looking to spend in the budget to mid range. In fact is lens choice something you are considering making a video on in the future? I hope you are well. Regards - Barry
Hello Danielle, thank you very much for the excellent video! My english is not that good but i could follow your explanations well. Many Thanks! Greetings from Germany!
Danielle, excellent video. I still shoot D850 and D500 and this the best setup video I have seen and I will use it to change some of the ways I do setup. So thank you and I hope maybe 2022 is the year when I get to come to Africa with you guys.
Hi Miss Danielle last year just bought my Nikon D 500 i can not follow others Nikon system. Kindly show to us how to set up the Nikon D500 for wildlife photography. Im watching all your blog thank so much Miss Danielle .
Oh no, I missed the premiere 😔. Well better watch this now then! 😊 ------------------ Well, this was a great, informative video with nicely different venue, thanks! 🙂💯
A great video at a pace that allows me to make the recommended changes to settings as I am following it. On my D850 I have found that if your finger accidentally partially depresses the 'lens release button' then the 'AF-ON' button does not work. An annoying quirk
It would be nice to see the D500 get a plug because for wildlife it is just as capable as the D850 and in some cases slightly better due to the focus points being edge to edge in the viewfinder. A few wildlife photographers I know who own both have said they have found the D500 recovers focus slightly faster. So I do think the D500 is definitely worth a mention.
for anyone not familiar with exposure delay, like mirror_up mode, it delays action (even self-timer mode), until THIS timer expires, so you can "step back" and all motion has a chance to stop, before the release of the shutter, so even if you don't use m_up, a cable release, or self-timer, this is a fourth way of minimising vibration ( and can work REGARDLESS of the shutter speed, one of the methods, which CAN {M_up mode is mainly for LONG exposures}, a cable_release is another which works); also one advantage, this is also a mode which can follow other settings, ie be saved in custom banks/User settings.
Some great tips with the button short cuts. Yup, D850 sold out in about 4 days for the holiday sale here in the USA. Probably limited the sale quantity. They were available again a couple days after the sale ended. I wonder if you called Nikon they would of gave you a rain check!!
@@PangolinWildlife In the US. It started a little before the Thanksgiving holiday. $2499.99 US. They usually have some sort of sale in the spring also( around or during March). Have in the past, But not a guarantee. You use to be able to get the D850 & D500 with the vertical grip for the sale price but, they didn’t do this the last sale.
It was a very informative information on why you use the Release mode instead of Focus & Release etc. The best detailed information on the mode I've ever seen two thank you and I will be keeping mine on Release from now on. (It was either in this video or another one of your set up videos but still brilliant information whichever video it was).
Hello Gary, thank you. I think it was on my Autofocus video. I found it quite a tricky menu item to figure out but finally did. Happy to hear it helps to improve your photography :-) -Danielle
Hi Amal, apologies for the late reply. Exposure delay is when you can tell the camera to only take the photo 3 seconds (or other) after you have pressed the button. It prevents camera shake/gives the camera time to stabilize after you've pressed the button. Danielle
Sorry....another question Danielle.....I just booked a private Safari in Tanzania, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and a various assortment of other locations in Feb 2024. I am a Nikon shooter and have a wide variety of cameras (full frame) and lens. However, as you've pointed out before, I cant take it all. I was initially thinking of bring my D610 and D850. I was also going to bring my 200-500, 70-200 and 24-70. Any other recommendations? I have a wide 16-24 as well but as you know that can get heavy. Not sure how much I would use it. Would a monopod be beneficial? Thank you!!! Love the channel.
Also if anyone wants a full in-depth menu explination try "field guides" for the camera, by David Busch, and other well known photographers, which Also go into lenses, and other accessories for a wide range of photo genre`s to help in making the best use of the camera you bought/rented.
What you are saying regarding some settings and RAW files are true, but if you use Nikons own software, the changes you make in camera does not get reset like in lightroom.
Thanks for the info. I need an advice, in 2021, would u recommend buying D850 over the Z6 for wildlife? I am planning my first FF camera and have a Nikon AF-S 300mm f2.8 non vr lens attached to my D500. Was thinking of the Z6 bcoz of the ibis. Awaiting your response. Thanking you in advance
Hello. The IBIS on the Z6 would be great paired with your 300, but you will have to shoot with the FTZ adapter which will slow down your AF speed to a certain degree. On a FF you'll be shooting at 300 without crop factor so your shutter speed should remain above 1/600s if shooting handheld (generalization, if there's no stabilization in camera), which is doable. It's a tough one. Taking into consideration all the other advantages that the D850 has over the Z6, I would probably go D850. -Danielle
@@thomastuorto9929 D5 lot superior in low light, has gr8 FPS, and of course the battery life. They both entirely different bodies for different jobs! Have fun 😁
AF-ON can't be set in F8 in D700 ( has own AF-ON, & AE-L/AF-L buttons, these systems work INDEPENDENTLY of each other, and together, ie you get AF-ON and shutter button AF modes operating TOGETHER!- you choose which method, but if back_button, you must hold it before pressing shutter!!), AND in D610 you MUST set this function in the AE-L/AF-L button assignment menu ( F7? ), OR in the 'i-menu' display as there is NO shutter function selection menu F8, like in the model you describe here. one other tip on this issue, with the D610 you can Also set AF-ON on body, on body + grip, or Grip only (using grip AE-L/AF-L button assignment menu), and with grip only the BODY shutter button works AS NORMAL, so one catch to look out for, if you don't want this function enabled in only ONE orientation, and NOT the other, two different operating modes, one camera!!
It's very important and helpful video, that's for sure,I just wanted to know that,it would be ok,if I use tamron 150-600 mm lens with Nikon D850?will it damage those F mount connecting point's in camera by continue using of this lens?I'm little bit of worried, because it's a third party lens... Waiting for your humble feedback. Thank you...
Hi there, apologies for my late reply. The Tamron would work just fine on the D850. We have plenty of guests using 3rd party lenses and they do well! Danielle
@9:12: You skipped over a4(3D-Tracking Face Detection), leaving it off. During some very heated arguments with Nikon(Canada) Service Reps, I was told that turning this Setting on would work on Animals as well as people. I haven't been able to test that yet as it is winter and there aren't too many Polar Bears running around right now. Any comments on that setting?
Do your A B C D custom banks all change names and show by name in your info screen? Tested a D850 that would not show C or D names, and if I changed the names, the names did not change in info screen. Suspect D850 has some issues. Vendor is taking a return of a used body in exchange for a brand new body by paying difference. Expecting to have a full new in box in about a week. I have need for custom banks. Want them to work as expected.
Hello, in a12 you can choose whether the focus points light up and when. Focus point illumination Choose whether the active focus point is highlighted in red in the viewfinder. Auto: The selected focus point is automatically highlighted as needed to establish contrast with the background. On: The selected focus point is always highlighted, regardless of the brightness of the background. Depending on the brightness of the background, the selected focus point may be difficult to see. Off: The selected focus point is not highlighted. Manual focus mode Choose On to display the active focus point in manual focus mode, Off to display the focus point only during focus point selection. Dynamic-area AF assist Choose On to display both the selected focus point and the surrounding focus points in dynamic-area AF mode. Danielle
I like you, not camera box. When every thing is doing technology then only 1 percent is left for the photographers, that is seeing composing and taking picture.
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!
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.
Very good point, thank you.
-Danielle
