Before Shooting - Nikon D850 Technical Manual

Before Shooting

l
Use an AF-S or AF-P lens. After mounting the appropriate
lens, choose an exposure mode of A or M so that aperture
does not change during shooting (recommended). Once
settings have been adjusted to your satisfaction, close the
viewfinder eyepiece shutter to prevent light entering via
the viewfinder interfering with photographs and expo-
sure.
Before shooting begins, mount the camera on a tripod,
disable lens vibration reduction (VR), and select a release
mode other than E. To ensure that shooting is not inter-
rupted, be sure the camera battery is fully charged. If in
doubt, charge the battery before use or use an AC adapter
and power connector (available separately).
Focus shift is available at all image quality settings. Note
that focus shift is unavailable in some situations, includ-
ing when multiple exposure or HDR shooting is in prog-
ress, the camera clock is not set, an incompatible lens is
attached, or no memory card is inserted.
