1 Shooting T echniques Static Subjects —Keeping Blur to a Minimum—.
2 Shooting T echniques Static Subjects At the high resolutions o ered by the D800/D800E, even the slightest camera motion can result in blur . The technique re- vealed in this section minimizes blur through a combination of live view photograph y and a tripod.
3 Shooting T echniques Static Subjects Why Use Liv e View? 1. The mirror is raised prior to shooting , reducing blur . At the high resolutions o ered by the D800/D800E, even the slap of the mirror can sometimes be enough to blur photo- graphs.
4 Shooting T echniques Static Subjects Why Use Liv e View? 2. Y ou can focus anywhere in the frame. In live view , you can use the multi selector to position the focus point anywhere in the frame , regardless of the options selected for AF/MF and autofocus.
5 Shooting T echniques Static Subjects Lesson 3: Don’t Stop Aperture Down T oo Far Stopping down aperture in manual ( h ) and aperture -priority auto ( g ) exposure modes increases depth of eld, bringing both background and for eground into f ocus.
6 Shooting T echniques Static Subjects Same S hot, No Liv e Vie w Live view photograph y was not used in creating the second example below; consequently, the mirr or was not raised until the photo was taken and the results are blurr ed.
7 Shooting T echniques P ortrait Subjec ts —Focusing on a Selected P oint—.
8 Shooting T echniques Portrait Subjects Use this method for sharp f ocus on selected points when framing portraits in the view nder . T echnical Data ■ Lens : AF-S NIKKOR 70-200 mm f/2.8G ED VR II ■ Exposure mode : Manual ■ Shutter speed : ½ s ■ Aperture : f/4.
9 Shooting T echniques Portrait Subjects Lesson 2: Choose the Right Exposure Settings Aperture Choose a wide aperture for a softer feel. Set aperture to f/4 or so to capture facial contours. Enough depth of eld for the lips and the corners of the eyes, but focus gets softer from the earrings back.
10 Shooting T echniques Portrait Subjects Light Level and ISO Sensitivity Adjust lighting and ISO sensitivity appropriately . After choosing both shutter speed and aperture manually , you may need adjust lighting or ISO sensitivity . These photos use soft, nat- ural light instead of ash or studio lighting.
11 Quick Tips 1. High ISO Sensitivity 1. High ISO Sensitivity The following sections introduce useful t echniques and camera options applicable to a variety of situations. The D800/D800E keeps noise to a minimum for high-r esolu- tion results at even the highest ISO sensitivities.
12 Auto ISO sensitivity control au- tomatically adjusts ISO sensitiv- ity if optimal exposure can not be achieved at the value selected by the photographer .
13 Quick Tips 3. Improving Optical P erformance 3. Improving Optical P erformance Stopping aperture down increases depth of eld, making the foregr ound and background sharper . Stop aper ture down too far , however , and di raction will actually cause the image to lose de nition.
14 Quick Tips 4. Backlit Portraits 4. Backlit Portraits With its 91K (about 91,000) pixel RGB sensor , the D800/D800E o ers improved face det ection. Used with the view nder in modes other than h , it can balance exposure between portrait subjects and the background even when the subject is backlit.
15 The D800E 1. High Resolution Images with the D800E 1. High Resolution Images with the D800E The D800E is a good choice when you need high-r esolution photos of visually complex subjects. Case 1: A Subjec t in T raditional Dress Preserve ne patterns in your subject’ s hair and clothing.
16 The D800E 2. Adjusting Aperture for Visually C omplex Subjects 2. Adjusting Aperture for Visually C omplex Subjects With cameras like the D800E, which are suit ed to visually complex subjects, it is important to get as much sharpness from the lens as possible.
17 The D800E 3. Color A r tifacts and Moiré 3. Color A r tifacts and Moiré Color artifacts and moiré are less frequent at the high resolu- tions supported by the D800/D800E, but when they do occur , they tend to be more noticeable in phot os taken with D800E.
