I cannot get larger than a 25mb jpg ...the Qual I set on fine. It seems that 40+ mp should produce larger files? Any advice on how to set for highest res jpg? Thx, Rick

shoot raw, high / large, and 14bit uncompressed - that will be large file.

Jpg images are HIGHLY compressed. Open one of those compressed images in Photoshop and you will see they are well over 100MB in size.
If you want to see how big files straight from that camera can get, try shooting some in TIFF!

My 24mp ones as jpeg run from 7 to 15 Meg so your 850 saving at 25meg seems about right to me. What is the width and length of the images then you will know if you are capturing in fine mode.

Use fine* and large.

Even the highest quality and size JPEGs are compressed and will be much smaller than RAW or TIFF files. Also, the size of JPEG files varies depending on the amount of fine detail.

How do the images look?
If you want larger jpegs, not sure why you would, you can always shoot raw and convert to a jpeg at 100% quality. That might be bigger than 25mb. This is not going to get you any more resolution, which is determined by the resolution of the sensor. But you may have better fine detail rendition. If you want higher resolution, get a Phase One IQ3 Tricromatic back, and slap it on a Mamiya Leaf

And mate it to a Phase One XF camera body - you'll spend around $52,000, but you won't be lacking any resolution.

They look ok but I crop them a lot using a (85mm 1.8 Nikon)...photoing dogs in show ring. Maybe it’s my lens ..... seems that the crops should be clearer. Just thought I may not have on the right setting for largest jpg. Sounds like I do. Have not tested the Raw yet, as my computer is old and dies using Lr on even my D810 raw pics.
