Quick Tips
1. High ISO Sensitivity 1. High ISO Sensitivity
The following sections introduce useful techniques and
camera functions applicable to a variety of situations.
The D800/D800E keeps noise to a minimum for high-resolu-
tion results at even the highest ISO sensitivities.
The High ISO NR option in the
shooting menu reduces the ran-
domly spaced bright pixels, fog,
and lines characteristic of high-
sensitivity noise, but may leave
edges less sharp. A setting of Off
or Low may off er a good balance
between sharpness and noise even at high ISO sensitivities.
The setting can later be changed using Capture NX 2 (avail-
able separately) for images recorded in NEF (RAW) format.
Use Capture NX 2 for more precise
adjustment of noise reduction In-
tensity and Sharpness. For NEF
(RAW) images, select the Noise
Reduction tool in the Develop
section of the Edit List. For JPEG
and TIFF images, select Noise Re-
duction from the Adjust menu.
