pablito pistola Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 As far as I can figure out the only way to select RAW shooting in the D850 is to choose it through the menus. Holding down the QUAL button and turning the control dials seems to let you change many aspects of the image quality, but apparently does not let you put the camera into RAW shooting mode. Anyone know a shortcut to turn RAW on and off without going into the menus? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you don't "turn RAW off"; you switch to JPEG basic, RAW + JPEG basic .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I'd be surprised if the D850 does it differently than the D810 or D500: pressing and holding QUAL and using the main command dial (back) changes the image quality (settings with a star indicate compression for maximum quality) and using the sub-command dial (front) changes the size of the JPEG (L, M, S).

Raw seems to be accessible only through the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I expected. I have the D800. But in the D850 RAW is not offered from the command dial or sub command dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablito pistola Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that the D850 offers three sizes of RAW, unlike the other cameras.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Don't have an 850, but on my DF, D750, and even my Ricoh GXRs it is programmable as a one button change from JPEG to RAW and back. Than can't be done on an 850? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 See page 88 and 89 of the American English manual. RAW is definitely selectable while holding down the QUAL button. By any chance you might have set up some option that excludes RAW capture? E.g. if you set to in-camera HDR, you cannot shoot RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 No, it cycles through everything, all the jpg possibilities, TIFF, but not RAW. You might have some setting active that is incompatible with RAW - HDR for example. Though in that case, you should not be able to select RAW through the menu either. Darn, Shun and I keep cross posting ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rconey Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Recently upgraded from D800 to D850. Still learning the controls and such. When I hold down the "QUAL" button and rotate the command dial it is 14 clicks from RAW back to RAW. Half of those have RAW plus an option such as various levels of jpg and half do not have raw in the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 rconey, thanks for the confirmation. That is what I would expect. Therefore, Dieter and I are both considering what seems to be the only possible explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablito pistola Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Thank you all. Silly me. Did not realize I had to turn it so many clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
