Nikon 850 & Amature Memory
Jan 5, 2021 10:08:49 #
I love my Nikon D850 and amaze at all of its capabilities. Trouble is each, shall I say special function (HDR, Focus Stacking, Macro, etc) require & suggest certain menu settings and recommended ranges in the settings. I may be able to program each of the 4 Custom Settings Menus for all or a part of these capabilities however that leaves some perimeters open.
As I am north of 65, and do not have the capability to create additional memory space in my fragmented brain, I seek "pocket cards" that briefly state the D850 camera setup for HDR, Focus shift, etc.
Do they exist?

Is that supposed to be "amateur" or "armature?"

Nothing like putting in the time to learn the stuff you need to know. Cards and cheat sheets get in the way of taking pictures. HDR, Pano and Focus stacking are all possible in the camera but are better done in post processing than in camera. Programming the camera for one type of image may be wrong for another type. And so on.
I suggest you take one feature you want to learn and just spend a day or two learning it, then move on to the next.
I'm 70, and I still approach new gear as I describe. Learn/own the concept vs learning the steps.

Y'all make me want to get a D850, but I can't decide whether I should get that or the D500.

Hi you could be me asking the above question? Even though I'm a pro. I stick to my main menu, but sometimes like to go 'off grid' so to speak & shoot panorama, HDR's etc. etc. & carrying the full manual around is a pain.
I found this guy searching for such advice. It's Bert Sinkin PhotoBert. He's in the US.
He sells laminated cards for most of the popular cameras & flashguns. with the sections from the camera manufacturers manuals laid out in easy to find sections.They are A4 size & fold up & are easy to pop in your camera bag or pocket.
See www.photbert.com
Hope this helps?

Yo P-J and thanks for the thought. Unfortunately, the link does not work. Copies of the manual does not blend together all the requirements and professional suggestions in one place. I am looking for a 3X5 card, laminated, with a recipe for each of the special functions.

Be the best you can be. As a infrequent amature I try to buy the best hoping the machine will overcome my lack of skill.
