Thank you Peter, not my usual 'quarry'Excellent shots gramps.
They look to be taken from a fair distance away. If you don't mind me asking, what lens was used?
I haven't no gramps as I always thought the middle centre point was the most accurate, Would you recommend one of the D9 or D51 ones? I think they are called that.
I tend to use single point for sports such as running and boxing (not shot football). I've tried 3d but don't find it that great tbh. Have you changed the 'stickiness' of the AF (focus tracking with lock on), I have mine on full which mean that when you obtain focus the AF does not change straight away if you 'slip off' the subject or something else momentarily blocks the subject.Ok brilliant thanks gramps. I'm going to try group area af and D9. See which I find has the most success. Thanks a lot!
What is it with Nikon and their sensors getting dirty. D850’s already got several spots on it and my D750 needed cleaning pretty often. It’s very very rare I change lenses in the field and I never leave the body without a lens or cap on.
Bought myself some cleaning swaps for the first time ever as I get frustrated with the sensorklear pen and butterfly brush as it takes at least half a dozen attempts to get it completely clean
No, I’ve never found it particularly effective tbh. Maybe once I’ve cleaned it I’ll set it to automatically clean every time the camera’s turned off and see how long it takes before it gets dirty again.Got the sensor cleaning setting on?
No worse then any mirrorless camera though where the sensor is exposedWhat is it with Nikon and their sensors getting dirty.

Tbh though on both cameras I think some of the spots are oil rather than dust but I’m not sure. Certainly don’t shift with the camera self clean, rocket blower or gentle ‘wipe’ with the sensorklear pen.
Thanks. Yes one of my favourites tooLove this, and one of my favourite cars.
OK, so I've run some tests and indeed in manual focus with battery grip my camera does shoot at 10fps. Is this just mine that's a super D850 or do others get this too?OK so weird finding today. Was getting my gear ready for Donington tomorrow and 9fps wasn't working, there was no difference in frame rate with and without battery pack. However, put it into manual focus and the frame rate noticeably went up. Great I thought, another lemon, it won't shoot at 9fps with AF. Then I remembered I'd put on a two stop ND filter on so I can use slow shutter speeds tomorrow. Tried it without the filter and the frame rate went up so it must be that there was not enough light getting in for the AF to be quick enough to allow 9fps. Put the filter back on and went outside into the sun and sure enough the frame rate was higher, confirming my suspicions that you need good light for the AF system to be quick enough for 9fps shooting.
Now the weird thing, putting into manual sped it up even further, with and without filter. So CL and CH without battery pack shoots at 7ps, with battery pack it increases to (I assume) 9fps, and then with battery pack in manual focus it shoots even faster, sounds more like 10-11fps to me (from memory it sounds faster than the D500). Has anyone else noticed this, how can this be possible?

I don't normally do these kinds of tests either, but it was bugging me as in manual focus it sounded faster so I had to check it outHave to be honest and say that I never ever run these sorts of tests.
However on Monday I was using the D850 with my 300 f4 PF and no battery pack and on two occasions I put it into CH as they were doing some sort of weird tractor drag-racing. On both occasions it sounded and felt as fast as my D500 ever did ... entirely non-scientific but entirely fast enough for anything I am ever going to need ... and without the battery grip and large battery.
Nope one SD one XQD. FYI panamoz aren't the cheapest for memory cards.Right, I'm home, got the battery on charge and was just looking at the memory cards.
I asked panamoz to send me 2 128gb sd cards but they only sent one!
Good job too, didnt realise I had to have a XQD card too? I thought both slots were SD compatible?!
hmmm, Lightroom Classic CC 7.3.1. not recognising the D850 files. Thought LR was supposed to be updated now and I only updated the other day! I'm not having a good night lol.
Nice camera though
Have you updated camera RAW as well as LR?hmmm, Lightroom Classic CC 7.3.1. not recognising the D850 files. Thought LR was supposed to be updated now and I only updated the other day! I'm not having a good night lol.

Gramps,
I didn't run into you yesterday at Ham Wall did I? I was chatting with someone in the Avalon Hide about their D850 and he was using a 300mm lens with it.........I didn't notice any drag racing there, though........
