I’m getting an error ‘file format not recognized’ in Lightroom ver. 5.6, is this version of Lightroom not able to read raw files, nef extension files from a Nikon D850?

Need some advice on what I should do. Yesterday I fell in a stream at Banff National Park along with my Nikon D850, camera was in the water for 1-2 seconds. It was already powered off luckily. I promptly removed the battery and memory stick, wiped down everything on the camera and lens, then I let it dry overnight in front of a fan. I have not tried to turn it on. Should I take it in for repair? I’m told they use alcohol to dry it out. Appreciate any advice here from the pros.

Kind Regards

So I’ve been shooting for years with the D5100, I’m not an expert but I have reasonable knowledge of aperture, shutter speeds, lenses, etc. Recently bought the D850 with a couple of lenses to try and up my photography skills but after spending a few days field testing, I’m disappointed with the amount of blurred photos. Most of the shots are at night, indoors and portraits. I’m using an AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1.8G lens without a flash. I am using P mode.

I have come away with the notion that either this camera is too sensitive or it requires a tripod for most shots. I also have the AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm ED VR lens f/3.5-5.6 but expect even worse results for indoor night time portrait shots.

What advice would you give to resolve the blurred photos issue? What don’t I know about using a pro series camera? Do I need to shoot in shutter priority mode? If so, what shutter speed should I select to avoid the blurring?

Looking forward to hearing your valuable feedback.

Thanks
