Creating Dust Off Ref Photos

To create a Dust Off ref photo for cameras other than the D2 series, D200, D70s, D70, or D50:

1 Select a CPU lens

Mount a CPU lens on the camera. We recommend using a lens with a focal length of at least 50 mm. If using a zoom lens, zoom in to the maximum telephoto position.

2 Adjust camera settings

Choose the following settings in the order shown below:

1Sensitivity (ISO equivalency): choose the minimum setting

2Image quality: choose NEF (RAW)

3Exposure mode: choose aperture-priority auto (A)

4Aperture: choose the minimum aperture (largest f/-number)

5Focus: choose manual focus and set focus to infinity

3 Take a photograph

With the lens about 10 cm from a featureless white object, such as a wall, frame the object so that it fills the viewfinder and take a photograph. The resulting Dust Off ref photo will be recorded as an NEF (RAW) image.

4 Transfer the photograph to the computer

Creating Dust Off Ref Photos (D1-Series and D100 Cameras)

In addition to D2-series, D200, D70s, D70, and D50 cameras, Dust Off ref photos can be taken with the D1X / D1H (firmware version 1.10 or later), and D100. Dust Off ref photos can not be created with the D1 or with earlier versions of the camera firmware for the D1X and D1H. Dust Off ref photos taken with the D100, D1X, or D1H have the extension “.nef”; do not change this extension.

Camera Shake

A slight amount of blurring caused by camera shake will not affect Dust Off ref photos.
