First image with my D850 taken in very dim light.

Btw have we noticed the cf cards have been phased out on all the newer models.

The D5 has a variant that takes two CF cards.

Stany,

Thanks for sharing your initial experience and image

I'll like to play with the NEF file, what is your website url ?

Thanks !

I did this with the D3 series but I sat-out the D4 series (mostly because of the lack of twin card slots).

Test it to see, but your D4 series cameras almost certainly will deliver better results if you do this.

You can set different exposure meter behaviours for all three Metering Modes and the setting that you chose for Spot Metering will depend on what object you customarily read from when using Spot Metering.

Ann; is this the same adjustment you had with the D3s? Same adjustment with both matrix and spot?

Wondering if that is what my D4s needs to....?

Something of which to be aware:

If you add EV to the metering, don't be alarmed if the image looks much too bright if you hit the Auto button in your editing software.

Just be aware that you will need to pull the so-called "Exposure" slider (which should, correctly,  have been called Gain or Brightness) to the left.

I also create my own Camera Profiles (using x_Rite's ColorChecker Passport software) for each camera body and for the different lighting sources which I may encounter.
This makes a huge difference to the image-quality and color-rendering that I can extract from the processing software.

I tested once more, no problem. It takes some time to download(66MP)

Thank you, Ann  .

I'll give it a try.
