Image Dust Off

The Image Dust Off feature in Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2.1 or later processes NEF (RAW) photographs to remove the effects of dust in the camera imaging system by comparing the images to the data acquired with Dust Off ref photo. It is not avail- able with TIFF (RGB) or JPEG images. The same reference data can be used for NEF (RAW) photographs taken with different lenses or at different apertures.
