Dust off Ref Photo

Acquire reference data for the Image Dust Off option in Capture NX (available separately; for more information, see the Capture NX manual).

1Highlight On and press OK. The message shown at right will be displayed and “rEF” will be appear in the viewfinder.

2With the lens ten centimeters (four inches) from a well-lit, featureless white object, frame the object so that it fills the viewfinder and then press the shutter-release but- ton halfway. In autofocus mode, focus will automatically be set to infinity; in manual focus mode, set focus to infinity manually.

3Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to acquire Image Dust Off reference data. The monitor turns off when the shutter-release button is pressed.

If the reference object is too bright or too dark, the camera may be unable to acquire Image Dust Off reference data and the message shown at right will be displayed. Choose another reference object and repeat the process from Step 1.

Image Dust Off

Dust off ref photo is available with CPU lenses only. A lens with a focal length of at least 50mm is recommended. If using a zoom lens, zoom all the way in.

The same reference image can be used for photographs taken with different lenses or at different apertures. Reference images can not be viewed using computer imaging software. A grid pattern is displayed when reference images are viewed on the camera; histograms and highlights are not displayed.

Image Dust Off is used to reduce the effects of dust in NEF (RAW) photographs. See the Capture NX manual for more information.
