Light Level and ISO Sensitivity
Adjust lighting and ISO sensitivity appropriately.
After choosing both shutter speed and aperture manually, you may need adjust lighting or ISO sensitivity.
These photos use soft, nat- ural light instead of flash or studio lighting. Out- door lighting can be fine- tuned by repositioning the model or photographer (above), indoor lighting by raising or lowering blinds
(right).
Learning from Failure: Same Shot, Different Focus
With the D800/D800E, you will notice that photos seem to have less depth of field than pictures shot with other cameras under the same conditions, and that focus consequently requires more attention. As can be seen from the examples below, changing the focus point even slightly can blur important details.
