The Heart of the Beast: 45.7MP BSI Sensor and Image Quality
The main reason why this model of Nikon has gained so much popularity is its 45.7-megapixel BSI (Backside-Illuminated) full-frame CMOS sensor that has a custom-designed. This was the first in the range of Nikon DSLRs and a great aspect in the immediate success of the camera. The BSI architecture enables better collection of light, which has two significant advantages for the professional:
- Outstanding Low-Light Operation: The D850 has significant gains with regard to high-noise operation in comparison to its predecessor, the D810, and is therefore very effective in low-light photography, such as the astrophotography setting and indoor events. The native ISO range of 6425600 (extendible to 32102400) offers enormous flexibility.
- Class-Leading Dynamic range: With the lowest native base ISO of 64, most modern professional cameras have phenomenal dynamic range. This is essential when landscape photographers require the ability to capture as much detail as possible in both deep shadows as well as bright highlights in just one shot, and this gives the file flexibility benefit, which can match even the medium format systems.
Speed and Precision: Autofocus and Performance
- 153 Focus points: The system has 153 autofocus points (99 of these cross-type, which is more sensitive), and this provides the system with excellent coverage and tenacity, tracking the fast-moving objects with ease.
- Speed for Action: D850 is able to capture images at a rate of 7 fps (frames per second) with full resolution. With the optional MB-D18 battery grip and an EN-EL18 battery attached, this speed soars to a smoking 9fps. This renders the D850 a truly versatile device, good enough to produce high-definition studio portraits and capture high-speed wildlife or sports shots.
- Deep Buffer: A fully deep buffer gives you the ability to record short bursts of 14-bit lossless compressed RAW files of up to 51 frames, so that you get that crucial shot without the camera grinding to a halt.
Unique Features That Enhance Workflow
The D850 has many new features that enhance productivity for specialized professional use:
- Focus Shift Shooting (Focus Stacking): It is a game-changer for macro and product photography. The camera automatically captures up to 300 successive shots, with a systematic movement of the focus point, which can then be flawlessly pieced together during post-production to produce an image with an unbelievable depth of view and acuity.
- 8K Time-Lapse Mode: Time-lapse A high-resolution time-lapse sequence can be recorded in 4K UHD directly in-camera, or ultra-high-resolution stills recorded to create an 8K time-lapse film in post-production, a feature that can be extremely beneficial to filmmakers and other commercial clients.
- Uncropped 4K UHD Video: Hybrid shooters. The D850 is the first Nikon DSLR to capture 4K UHD video in full-width FX format without the 4K crop factor that limits the field of view on much of the competition.
