Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Nikon D850, insert the fully charged battery into the compartment on the base of the grip and mount an F-mount lens by aligning the index marks. The camera is compatible with the full range of Nikon NIKKOR F-mount lenses. For maintenance, keep the sensor clean by using a specialized blower to remove dust particles and avoid exposing the sensor to direct sunlight. Store the camera in a dry, ventilated area, and utilize the provided body cap when a lens is not attached to protect the mirror assembly.
