Dust Off Ref Photo

This option is used to acquire reference data for the Image Dust Off function in Capture NX (available separately; for more information, see the Capture NX User’s Manual).

1 Dust off ref photo is only available when a CPU lens is mounted 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 posi- tion.

3 Press the multi selector to the right. Camera settings will be adjusted automatically. The message shown at right will be displayed, and will be displayed in the viewfinder and control panels.

Image Dust Off

The Image Dust Off feature in Capture NX (available separately) 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 available with TIFF (RGB) or JPEG images. The same reference data can be used for NEF (RAW) photo- graphs taken with different lenses or at different apertures.
