Filters
• Filters intended for special-effects photography may
interfere with autofocus or the electronic rangefinder.
• The D800 can not be used with linear polarizing filters.
Use the C-PL or C-PLII circular polarizing filter instead.
• Use NC filters to protect the lens.
• To prevent ghosting, use of a filter is not recommended
when the subject is framed against a bright light, or when
a bright light source is in the frame.
• Center-weighted metering is recommended with filters
with exposure factors (filter factors) over 1× (Y44, Y48,
Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S, ND8, ND8S,
ND400, A2, A12, B2, B8, B12).
See the filter manual for
details.

Type I CompactFlash memory cards to be inserted in
PCMCIA card slots.
Software
• Capture NX 2: A complete photo editing package with such
advanced editing features as selection control points and
an auto retouch brush.
• Camera Control Pro 2: Control the camera remotely from a
computer and save photographs directly to the computer
hard disk.
Note: Use the latest versions of Nikon software; see the websites
listed on page xx for the latest information on supported
operating systems. At default settings, Nikon Message Center 2
will periodically check for updates to Nikon software and
firmware while you are logged in to an account on the
computer and the computer is connected to the Internet.
A
message is automatically displayed when an update is found.
Body caps
Body Cap BF-1B/Body Cap BF-1A: The body cap keeps the mirror,
viewfinder screen, and low-pass filter free of dust when a
lens is not in place.
Microphones
Stereo Microphone ME-1 (0 65): Connect the ME-1 to the
camera microphone jack to record stereo sound while
reducing the noise caused by lens vibration being recorded
with movies during autofocus.
