Convenient shooting with ND filters* — Low-light metering down to -3 EV
1
The D850 employs a 180K-pixel RGB sensor with superb low-light sensitivity, the same as the flagship D5, offering
metering down to -3 EV* . This helps enormously when shooting low-light scenes. It is also invaluable when

capturing long-exposure shots with ND filters (such as seascapes or running water), as it allows you to rely fully
on the camera’s AE and AF without needing to detach the filter. Furthermore, the Advanced Scene Recognition
System uses the RGB sensor’s increased pixel count to enhance the accuracy of various auto controls such as
auto white balance, i-TTL balanced fill-flash, auto-area AF, 3D-tracking and Active D-Lighting, making it easier for
photographers to achieve their desired results.

More faithful color reproduction under natural light — New natural light auto white balance option

The D850 employs a new “natural light auto” white balance mode, taking advantage of
the Advanced Scene Recognition System’s improved light source identification function.
This option delivers optimal white balance results under natural light — a valuable asset
for landscape shooters. It makes it possible to respond quickly to changes in the weather
conditions without switching to the direct sunlight or cloudy options. When shooting scenes Clearly confirm your entire view — 0.75× optical viewfinder
such as an autumnal landscape awash with red leaves or spectacular orange sunset, it also
enhances the warm colors, helping create even more impressive pictures. The D850 provides a wide field of view for easier subject confirmation with a 0.75×
magnification* for its optical viewfinder — the highest ever offered by a Nikon FX-
format D-SLR. The viewfinder has been redesigned to employ an aspherical lens and a
new condenser lens with refined refraction, allowing for a slimmer body while keeping
White balance: Auto 0 a sufficiently long eye point. Its high-contrast viewfinder information display uses
organic EL display elements, making it easier to read even under bright sunlight.
Preserve details in highlights and shadows — Active D-Lighting * 50mm f/1.4 lens at infinity, -1.0 m .
-1
Even when shooting high-contrast scenes in backlit situations, Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlight areas as well as shadowy areas,
reproducing brightness as you see it. Active D-Lighting is suitable for use with moving subjects, as it does not involve combining two images like
the High Dynamic Range (HDR) function does.

Produce amazing dynamic range — HDR

The High Dynamic Range (HDR) function takes two images of different exposures with one shutter release and automatically combines them to
produce a single image with a wider dynamic range. This achieves images with rich tonal gradation in shadows and highlights, even for high-
contrast shooting scenes. HDR is ideal for stationary subjects such as high-contrast landscapes and still lifes.
Note: Tripod use recommended.
