Creating Dust Off Ref Photos
To create a Dust Off ref photo for cameras other than the D2 series, D200, D70s, D70, or
D50:
1
Select a CPU lens
Mount a CPU lens 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 position.
2
Adjust camera settings
Choose the following settings in the order shown below:
1 Sensitivity (ISO equivalency): choose the minimum setting
2 Image quality: choose NEF (RAW)
3 Exposure mode: choose aperture-priority auto (A)
4 Aperture: choose the minimum aperture (largest f/-number)
5 Focus: choose manual focus and set focus to infi nity
3
Take a photograph
With the lens about 10 cm from a featureless white object, such as a wall, frame the object
so that it fi lls the viewfi nder and take a photograph. The resulting Dust Off ref photo will
be recorded as an NEF (RAW) image.

Transfer the photograph to the computer
Creating Dust Off Ref Photos (D1-Series and D100 Cameras)
In addition to D2-series, D200, D70s, D70, and D50 cameras, Dust Off ref photos can be taken with the
D1X / D1H (fi rmware version 1.10 or later), and D100. Dust Off ref photos can not be created with the D1
or with earlier versions of the camera fi rmware for the D1
X and D1H. Dust Off ref photos taken with the
D100, D1
X, or D1H have the extension “.nef”; do not change this extension.
Camera Shake
A slight amount of blurring caused by camera shake will not affect Dust Off ref photos.
