It features a new EXPEED 5 image processor and an upgraded autofocus system with a total of 153 points (99 points are cross-type), a continuous shooting speed of 7 fps that can be upgraded to 9 fps with an MB-D18 battery pack and a D5 battery.
The 181, 000- advanced RGB pixel metering system, which further increases the ability to autofocus, especially when shooting in Auto-Area and 3D tracking modes. The camera is sensitive down to -4 EV, which improves the D810 with -2EV sensitivity by two stops. Thus, the sensitivity of the D850 -4 EV allows the autofocus system to function properly even in low-light conditions. The Nikon D850 also has a significant buffer upgrade, allowing you to capture a total of 170 RAW images in a compressed 12-bit lossless format, and a total of 51 RAW images in a compressed 14-bit lossless format.
How to adjust Nikon D850 portrait settings?
STEP 1. Set the Aperture properly

Shooting in Aperture Priority mode is useful when you take portrait images, as it allows you to monitor the depth of field in the image, you can select which part of the image will be defocused or blurred and which part will be sharp by manipulating this. To stand out better, you can blur the context of your subject and give them an edge.
To get an even wider aperture (f/1.4 to /2.8) and blur the background of an image even more, you can use specialist portrait lenses.
STEP 2. Control the shutter speed of the camera

First of all, shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter of the camera remains open, and this controls how much longer the light is exposed to the camera sensor. Photographers face many lighting conditions when taking photos, but the camera’s sensor requires a fixed amount of light to get a better exposure. You need to maximize visibility in low-light conditions. You have to reduce brightness in bright light conditions. A quick shutter speed often causes a short exposure, and less light is obtained from the camera lens, vice versa, a slow shutter speed produces a long exposure meaning more light is obtained from the sensor. You can use a faster shutter speed in a bright lit condition, and apply a slower shutter speed in a dimly lit state.
STEP 3. Change the angle

Portrait photos are usually taken by setting up the camera at the level of the subject’s eye. Therefore, it is the main focus of the photograph to create an outstanding portrait shot with the subject’s eyes. However, opting to take shots from multiple angles can often make your portrait shots even better.
From a high camera angle, you can shoot your subject, which lets the main focus on the face rather than the body. It makes it easy to capture sufficient light in their eyes as a result. Besides, the less favorable context tends to conceal it. Plus, you can shoot the subject as close to the ground as possible from a downward angle and look up at your subject. This makes it feel taller to your subject and appear larger.
Step 4. Fix the exposure depending on the fac’s highlights:

Use a brightness of +1 EV and -1 EV in Aperture-priority auto mode to set the direction of the required brightness if you are taking portraits in a dimly lit room. Adjust the brightness and use manual exposure to make changes. To of the camera shake, be sure of the shutter speed. Due to the need for faster shutter speed, apply the 1/focal length’ seconds’ times 2 or 3 with D850. Using a reflector board to supplement the light if there is a shaded area.
