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
