p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · D850: Focus Peaking and Silent Shutter Mode | |
My question/comment:
1. Has anyone used Focus Peaking before? Am wondering if it really makes focusing a lot easier. I sure hope so.
2. Seems Focus Peaking and Silent Shutter might be a great tool for certain wildlife opportunities. I have learned to use the tilting LCD screen but still....MF is a major problem. IF IT WORKS......Focus Peaking could be a great tool to that end.

Following excerpts from the above link:
……Focus Peaking
“Nikon has also integrated focus peaking into the Nikon D850, which is great for those who desire this feature when using live view mode. Focus peaking will make it easier to focus on subjects, since it will highlight the areas of contrast using a particular color like red, white, yellow or blue. This feature should be particularly good to use with manual focus lenses. However, I wish Nikon offered an EVF option with the D850, since it would have made focus peaking much more useful when utilizing the viewfinder, rather than the LCD screen of the camera”.
..….Silent Shutter Mode
“Nikon has introduced a new “Silent Shutter” mode to the D850, which allows the camera to take advantage of the electronic shutter when using the camera in live view mode. What’s great about this mode, is that it not only completely eliminates any kind of shutter (since the mirror is raised and the shutter is open), but also allows photographers to stay discreet when shooting wildlife or when taking pictures during a wedding ceremony in a church. When shooting continuously, the Nikon D850 can capture up to 6 fps at full 45.7 MP resolution and if one switches to high speed mode, it is possible to reach up to 30 fps at 8.8 MP in DX crop.
I have a color deficiency (Daltonism). Depending on the background, I am barely able to see the little focusing square in LiveView. Most often I cannot see it at all...NOTHING!
If it were blue I would see it clearly.
