Nikon D850 suggestion for fast changeable user settings

By [NR] admin | Published: June 26, 2018

Stephan Haase is the author of the Nikon D850 book in Germany (in German language). After using the Nikon D850, he came to the conclusion that the ability to store different user settings is not optimal. Here is his suggestion on how to improve it:

Suggestion for fast changeable user settings

In this document, I would like to make a suggestion to improve the handling of the Nikon D850.

There are many situations where you as a photographer would like to change some menu options (between two and five) simultaneously. Currently, you have the possibility to use the four configuration banks of the photo shooting menu and the custom settings. Here the current menu options:

Unconditional Love

By [NR] admin | Published: June 22, 2018

“Unconditional Love” by Louis Amore (website, Instagram):

In October 2017 I visited a good friend in Seattle, Washington who runs an international animal rescue organisation. Animals can have a positive impact on people’s lives. Unfortunately, I also saw and learned how much animals suffer abuse around the world. During my visit I saw that many homeless people kept animals with them and it gave me an idea to document their connection and dependence on each other. I approached and sought permission to photograph in Tent City 3 – a non-sanctioned temporary homeless encampment – and also other homeless people throughout the area. Animals accept us as we are. They love unconditionally and without reserve. They bring joy, love and reassurance during our best and worst times. I felt compelled to use this connection; the unwavering bond between human and animal as the basis for this series – “Unconditional Love”

The upcoming Nikon Coolpix A1000 camera is rumored to have an EVF

By [NR] admin | Published: June 20, 2018

The current Nikon Coolpix A900 ($218)

A quick update on the upcoming Nikon A1000 camera that is going to replace the current Coolpix A900 model: the A1000 is rumored to have an electronic viewfinder (EVF). This is an interesting development because I already reported rumors about a new high-end compact Nikon camera – maybe the A1000 will be that model? I just hope they get rid of the Coolpix name and of course add RAW support (the current A900 doesn’t have RAW support).
