New D850 not creating NEF image

Hi, I have gone over all of my settings on my D850 and when I take a picture and download to my laptop I only have jpgs showing up. I am baffled. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? I used to shoot with a d750 and always ended up with a NEF and a jpg image.

Have you changed anything since your D 750? Are you using Nikon software? I Have found that some kinds of software won't read or show RAW files. No expert by any means.

First my thought were, well you need to set that up in the menu, but then I saw you're used to shooting with the 750, so I'll bet you did. Maybe there is something wrong with one of your card slots. Can you take only jpegs in both? It may be time to contact Nikon!

I apologize for bothering the group. I changed the preference to shoot jpg and nef and my mistake was that I did not hit the ok button to save my selection. I am learning.

It's always good to hear when UHH solves a problem.

Actually, a good lesson.
1. When powering up your camera for a day, check all your settings. On my D850, I just press the "info" button and review, and change if needed, all the major settings. Sorta like one-stop shopping.
(I changed the default 10-second display duration to 1-min so I'm not hurried.)

Yes, that OK button has messed up more than one user.
