Introduction
This “Technical Guide” details the principal techniques used
to create two of the more technically advanced photographs
in the D800/D800E brochure. Take this opportunity to admire
the skills of professional photographers who have mastered
the D800/D800E.
While its groundbreaking 36 megapixels give the D800/D800E
resolution unrivalled by previous digital SLR cameras, a side
eff ect of such high resolution is that blur, whether the result
of imprecise focus or camera shake, becomes that much more
noticeable. Realizing the full potential of a camera with over
30-million pixels involves a thorough understanding of the
causes and characteristics of blur, careful selection of settings
and tools (lenses, tripods, etc.), and working with the best
possible subjects.
