1. High ISO Sensitivity
1. High ISO Sensitivity
The following sections introduce useful techniques and
camera options 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. You may nd
that settings of O or Low o er a
good balance between sharpness and noise even at high ISO
sensitivities. If you shoot in NEF (RAW) format, you can change
the setting later in Capture NX 2 (available separately).
Select the Noise Reduction tool
in the Capture NX 2 “Develop” sec-
tion (NEF/RAW images) or Adjust
menu (JPEG and TIFF images) and
adjust Intensity and Sharpness to
achieve the desired result.
