Mastering the Nikon D850 (The Mastering Camera Guide) Paperback – Illustrated, 28 Jun. 2018

As far as I have discovered, this must have pretty much everything in it. Descriptions and step by step photos for each menu, plus how and why the author sets his D850 after each section. Must be thorough at 650 pages but it could initially be quite a beast of a camera to understand, until you have read this.One chapter to go but I couldn't wait to give it the praise it deserves.I just wish other instruction books were this informative.

I had been waiting for the printed 600+ page book on the D850 and in the end gave it up as a bad job. The book just was not in the UK and was very late. In the end I decided to buy the Kindle version because I now have a Kindle Fire colour tablet (the pictures in the book are in colour). As usual (I have had a lot of Nikon cameras) this instruction book is absolutely thorough right down to the fine detail. That is why I have called it the Rolls Royce of instruction books. I had been using the camera based on a previous full frame camera settings. Within the first 20 pages of this book I was changing things. The upgrade from the D810 to D850 is enormous and I had no idea about its capabilities. If you need one book to get the true potential out of this camera then buy this one. It's just brilliant and so easy to read.

Still working through it

An excellent book on using the Nikon D850. Goes into far more detail than the user manual. It is well organised and very well illustrated with numerous high-quality photographs which explain each feature of the camera and how to use it.If you own this camera you absolutely MUST buy this book!

The narrative tone is good and easy to read, it could be punchier at times. Overall a huge tome to cover pretty much every aspect of the very complicated camera!

Worth every penny! Its just what you need to get deeper in your Nikon D850. I got the book six months after I purchased the camera. It was a great timing for me, it was the moment that I exhausted the basics of my camera. The camera's manual it could not do this job and if yes it was going to be hard.... no pictures, no recommendations, no deep explanation on hows and whys!!!

I have just finished reading this book from front to back. It is a brilliant book, and just what I wanted. It presumes that you have some knowledge of photography, as this is a pro camera, and goes into detail of all the settings in the camera, with in depth explanations of all the choices/options. It also gives recommended settings that the author uses with explanations as to why he uses them. Totally thorough, and exceptionally well written with good screen shots and diagrams. It breaks down the complex into simple terms, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you.

What a brilliant book. If you have upgraded to the D850 you will need this. Much has been said in the previous reviews and there is little I can add to enhance that. It is a joy to read and follow, easy instructions with plenty of photographic illustrations. but I will comment on a couple of negative points that were mentioned in previous reviews. Small print? It looks like an 11 or 12 Arial font which is about right considering it's 668 pages long. One reviewer was disappointed that it didn't have any information about photographing sport. The book is about how to use one of the best cameras in the world, not about shooting specific genre. Look elsewhere for how to photograph sport or any other genre. It will tell you the best settings to use in various situations but it won't tell you how to set your camera up. That's where this book comes back into play.
