Nikon D850 Noise Performance

Ahead of our full Nikon D850 review, we thought we'd share our ISO noise test results so that you can see just what the 46 megapixel full-frame D850 is capable of throughout its complete ISO range.
The base sensitivity of the Nikon D850 is ISO 64 but you can go down to ISO 32 (L1.0) if you wish. At the other end of the scale, the highest native sensitivity of the Nikon D850 is ISO 25600, but two boosted settings, ISO 51200 and ISO 102400, are also available.
