DISCUSSION THREADS
Out of respect to the authors of several threads dedicated to specific topics of discussion regarding the camera, I politely request that we continue the respective conversations in those channels.
This hub will hopefully curtail duplicate threads, while possibly giving folks here instant gratification.
The first two are probably the most relevant, at least pre-release:

TIPS
I will update this as WE go.
Tip #1 RAW/JPG
by @dj r
If you were previously shooting RAW to primary card and RAW backup to secondary, you may want to give this a try, especially if you are waiting for the LR update. shoot RAW to primary and JPEG to secondary.
To accomplish this:
- go to photo shooting menu
- primary slot selection XQD
- secondary slot selection RAW primary - JPEG secondary
- image quality, select RAW + JPG fine* or whatever version of jpg you want
confirm by looking at the lcd screen (top)
it should say RAW and FINE under it (or whatever you selected for jpg)
Important to note, I'll save you some reading:
JPG fine* vs. JPG fine (without *)
JPG fine* is the highest quality - use this as memory is cheap
Without LR support yet, so this is a no brainer. You can get the JPG's up to social right away without editing and they look incredible.
Tip #2 - WHITE BALANCE
by @dj r
The new Natural Light Auto (w/b) option is amazing!
- photo shooting menu
- white balance
- choose NLA
Now this will be your AUTO setup
But you still have options to use Auto 0,1,2 which are:
0 keep white, reduce warm colors
1 normal
2 keep warm lighting colors
So basically we have a lot of Auto options now
Tip #3 - SILENT SHOOTING / LIVE VIEW
video recap: https://youtu.be/B_CF1_OT5GQ
Tip #4 - AF SELECTION OPTIONS!!!
You can set up TWO buttons to run TWO unique AF types
shout out to Francesco Spighi (from Italy) for the inspiration to set it up this way
I run back button AF only.
Set the camera to run in AF-C, for e.g.: 3D tracking...
Then program the joystick button to run a different specific AF area mode, like AF-S (single point)!!!
There is more to it, you have other options as well, with program ability with the joystick and AF stuff.
The 5D4 has the ability to run this way, and I loved it when I demo'd that camera last year.
I am THRILLED to have this feature arrangement on the D850!
Cheers
