Darrell helps users navigate past the confusion that often comes with complex and powerful professional camera equipment, guiding readers through the features with step-by-step setting adjustments; color illustrations; and detailed how, when, and why explanations for each option. Every button, dial, switch, and menu configuration setting is explored in a user-friendly manner, with suggestions for setup according to various shooting styles. Darrell's friendly and informative writing style allows readers to easily follow directions while feeling as if a friend dropped in to share his knowledge. The learning experience for new D850 users goes beyond just the camera itself and covers basic photography technique. Review: Best book for anyone looking for an alternative to the manual.... - I originally pre-ordered this book in paperback but was pleasantly surprised to find that it was available in Kindle and so ordered an immediate download the other day and determined to read the book over the last many hours. It is recommended to read the book with camera in hand and I will do that next over the coming week. And read it again after that. As I have done with several previous ‘Mastering....’ books by this very knowledgeable and capable author with several decades of experience. I spent a lot of time reading and rereading his book on the D500 last winter and again in the Spring. The D500, to me, is the companion camera to the D850. And so while waiting for this book on the D850 I felt the D500 book a good resource for the D850 as well. The thing I like about these books are, not just the tips thruout by someone who has been shooting professionally for decades, but also his personal ‘Settings Recommendations’ after each section. I look forward to those things while reading each section. I also like the technical explanations set aside here and there in the book for those like myself who choose to get a little deeper in the subject matter. The camera is a technical marvel but the book explains it all very well from start to finish. Much better than the manual and more concise as well as interesting. It’s got a personal touch to it also. I think the authors books, especially this one, are perfect for anyone who really wants to know their camera inside and out. Now like I said, I read this over a couple of days - with 5 hours sleep in between. Reading his other books, and especially ‘Mastering the D500, made it easier because I knew what to expect and I’m very familiar with the material and the D850 camera which I’ve had since last December. So also I’ve been looking forward to this book since last December and to get around the wait I read the D500 backwards and forwards since then with the D850 in mind. So the very helpful tips by a professional with decades of experience, his ‘Settings Recommendations’, technical data placed throughout the book for those like me with an interest (which are easily skipped over if you’re not inclined), well thought out chapters with careful explanations for everything, camera diagrams, step by step ways to adjust settings.........make this the only book you need to understand this wonderful camera. Review: Fantastic guide to get you up and running in no time. - This is without doubt the best book you can get to learn about the D850. The author explains all the features adn controls in great detail and gives an example of why he uses certain settings which I found invaluable. I learned Bracketting in a short time and many otehr techniques. I will keep striving to learn more. Do yourself a favor and just get this Book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #77,114 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Photography Equipment (Books) #30 in Digital Photography (Books) #38 in Photography Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 663 Reviews | ## Images ![Mastering the Nikon D850 (The Mastering Camera Guide Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q26agkaSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book for anyone looking for an alternative to the manual.... *by R***D on August 28, 2018* I originally pre-ordered this book in paperback but was pleasantly surprised to find that it was available in Kindle and so ordered an immediate download the other day and determined to read the book over the last many hours.

The author explains all the features adn controls in great detail and gives an example of why he uses certain settings which I found invaluable. I learned Bracketting in a short time and many otehr techniques. I will keep striving to learn more. Do yourself a favor and just get this Book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT!! *by B***B on January 25, 2025* I can’t recommend this book enough! If you have a D850 and are still learning how to maximize its full capabilities you simply MUST buy this book. It is far more in depth and not at all cryptic as the Nikon manual with detailed descriptions, examples, step-by-step instructions to set up features, and, although personal for everyone it is still appreciated the author indicates his preferences/recommendations. The only thing it lacks is describing the reason why a particular setting becomes disabled as a result of another setting having been selected so you understand why it happened and how to prevent it. Otherwise it’s a VERY comprehensive book! I originally read my manual cover to cover and it was only until I read this book I discovered a few other little tricks the camera can do the manual didn’t discuss. If you’re a D850 user, BUY THIS BOOK!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mastering the Nikon D850 (The Mastering Camera Guide Series) - Nikon D850: Pocket Guide: Buttons, Dials, Settings, Modes, and Shooting Tips (The Pocket Guide Series for Photographers, 6) - David Busch's Nikon D850 Guide to Digital SLR Photography (The David Busch Camera Guide Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/70105732-mastering-the-nikon-d850-the-mastering-camera-guide-series](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/70105732-mastering-the-nikon-d850-the-mastering-camera-guide-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
