More reliable auto control — 180K-pixel RGB sensor for Advanced Scene Recognition System
Flicker reduction function (in continuous shooting)
The D850 is equipped with the same 180K-pixel RGB sensor as the D5. Its increased pixel count enhances the
accuracy of various auto controls by the Advanced Scene Recognition System, such as matrix metering, auto Bright Bright
white balance, i-TTL balanced fill-flash, auto-area AF, 3D-tracking and Active D-Lighting. Furthermore, metering is 1/100 s (in 50 Hz), 1/120 s (in 60 Hz)
available down to -3 EV* thanks to the sensor’s superb low-light sensitivity, which is effective when shooting low-
contrast scenes or using a teleconverter. Meanwhile, the flicker detection function reduces flicker effects for more Light source Dark

Effective noise reduction, fine detail and color reproduction with powerful image processing — EXPEED 5
Imagine shooting a white-clad karate athlete under a spotlight
against a dark background. If you want to retain the subtle tones and Beauty is where you find it. The D850 captures it all — thanks to its EXPEED 5 image-processing engine, also
nuances of color in the clothes, try highlight-weighted metering. This incorporated in the flagship D5. EXPEED 5 renders delicate tonality in highly vivid colors, and its superb noise reduction
setting delivers a richer tonality in images by giving priority to the suppresses noise effectively while maintaining detail. Its powerful calculation ability also permits high-speed
brightest portions of a scene and avoiding white clipping. continuous shooting at approx. 9 fps* with 45 megapixels, as well as full-frame, 4K UHD movie recording.

Create your ideal images — Picture Control system
Highlight-weighted metering
Nikon’s Picture Control system helps you craft images that match your creative intentions and purposes. The D850 incorporates
the new Auto Picture Control, in addition to the seven existing presets. Each preset allows you to tune settings such as sharpening
and clarity, opening up a wider range of options for achieving your ideal image. You can adjust settings and store them as your own
custom Picture Controls.

Automatically adjust images to fit the scene — Auto Picture Control
Auto Picture Control produces more desirable images by automatically fine-tuning the tone curve, color, sharpening and clarity of the Standard
option, according to each scene’s characteristics. It boosts contrast in backlit scenes, which some sports photographers prefer. What’s more,
it maintains a consistent look across multiple images during continuous shooting, even when there are small variations in brightness or angle
between each frame.
