Hello...I am a fairly new photographer and purchased this wonderful (albeit over my head) D850 camera. I have it set to back button focus and manual as I like to adjust aperture, iso, shutter. When i press back button AF-on and frame my subject
then press shutter release button the shutter stays open for 2-3 seconds..it must be a setting I have wrong?

I appreciate your help..

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

I don't have a D850, but I am sure someone will to along shortly to offer more help. In the meantime I would recommend doing a two button reset.


The "qual" button on top of the Camera has a green dot on it. On the other side the of the D850 the "exposure comp" button also has a green dot. Press these two buttons at the same time and this will reset some of the default settings.

Thank you Fred! Thats what I had set and didn't know it until I reset the camera.

I will use that in the field and assign a button for tripod shots...

Best to you!
