But the really impressive timelapse mode is the one that captures raw photos with more than 8 thousand pixels. We shoot a lot of timelapse projects so the 4K timelapse mode which saves a video file without needing to do any editing, comes in quite handy. Sunset filming in Frankfurt with the D850 The high ISO noise performance is good but when shooting video with a flat picture profile there is quite some noise visible above ISO 6.400 is dark areas of the image.
I actually found the low ISO of 64 to be useful for bright outdoor shoots especially when shooting wide open. D850 video setup with the Rode VideoMic Pro on top The recording time is limited to 30 minutes in one take like most other DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. The D850 also has continuous auto focus in video mode but to be honest it’s rather disappointing. It also has an internal video stabilization mode but it only works when shooting in 1080p. Manual audio control, a 3.5mm microphone input and a headphone jack are also available so that you can listen to what you are actually recording.
It’s useable but I wouldn’t mix it with 4K footage.Įven though the D850 is an FX full frame camera it can also record video with the DX crop of 1.5 times which I found to be quite useful when using a lens like the 24-70mm to be able to zoom in more without needing to change lenses.Įven though the camera is clearly made for pro photographers Nikon included some useful features for filmmakers such as focus peaking, zebra, focus magnifier which can be adjusted and changed on the camera’s touch screen. The 120p slow motion footage looks okay but very soft and noisy in the shadows. So even if you’re only finishing your video in HD I recommend shooting in 4K and downscaling it to get a nice, crispy image.
NIKON FULL FRAME DSLR THAT SHOOT 4K VIDEO 1080P
Even though the 4K video looks great the 1080p footage looks a bit too soft, almost blurry. What I like about the look of the 4K footage is the slight softness which I definitely prefer over digitally oversharpened footage that many cameras produce which also gives it a bit more of a filmic look. Nonetheless there are no major issues when color correcting the flat footage. Even when using an external recorder the camera can only output a 4:2:2 8-bit video signal via HDMI and not 10-bit.
NIKON FULL FRAME DSLR THAT SHOOT 4K VIDEO MP4
The video files can be recorded in MOV and MP4 with a color depth of 8-bit 4:2:0. The camera has different picture profiles including a flat one that can be further adjusted to lower the contrast, saturation and sharpness. We have tested the camera for two weeks and you can watch the video review below in 4K UHD: The camera can shoot video up to 30 frames per second in Ultra HD and 120p in Full HD. The Nikon D850 is a full frame DSLR with a 45.7 megapixels sensor.
