Capture NX 2 (optional): Optimal for processing images taken with the D800  

To accommodate the imaging power of the D800’s 36.3 effective 
megapixels, the latest Capture NX 2 now features powerful 64-bit 
processing. Capture NX 2 drastically simplifies an array of image 
enhancement procedures, letting you concentrate on making your 
pictures the best they can be. Instead of complicated layering and 
memorization, simply place a Color Control Point wherever you 
want to reprocess. Color Control Points use intuitive slider controls 
to make quick and easy adjustments to image characteristics 
such as brightness, contrast, saturation and tones. Change, adjust 
and experiment all you like, safe in the knowledge that all changes are non-
destructive and an original always remains intact.

ViewNX 2: Browse, edit, share and more  

This bundled, all-in-one software implements an easy-to-use interface for 
all your photos and movies. Take advantage of an array of editing functions, 
including basic editing of RAW files and even D-Movies. ViewNX 2 also works 
effortlessly with Nikon’s photo-sharing and storage service, my Picturetown, 
with labels to help you find that special photo quickly and easily.

Camera Control Pro 2 (optional): Extremely versatile remote camera controls 

For those that want to operate their camera via computer, Camera Control Pro 2 
lets you control camera settings and various features from a distance. Aside 
from controlling exposure mode, shutter speed, and aperture, the software 
now offers numerous improvements to make the D800’s live view operation 
exceptionally smooth. Creative control opportunities include remote start 
and stop for movie shooting and switching between live view for stills and 
movies. You can also adjust the monitor hue of live view photography and the 
resulting image’s white balance individually, which 
can be quite helpful when working in the studio. You 
can also display audio level indicators during movie 
shooting. And with the optional Wireless Transmitter 
WT-4A/B/C/D/E, image files can be transferred using 
either Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection.

Nikon engineers have developed a unique alternative for those seeking the ultimate 
in definition. The D800E incorporates an optical filter with all the anti-aliasing 
properties removed in order to facilitate the sharpest images possible. 
This is an ideal tool for photographers who can control light, distance and their 
subjects to the degree where they can mitigate the occurrence of moiré. Aside 
from the optical filter, all functions and features are the same as on the D800.

Note: The D800E carries an increased possibility that moiré and false color will appear, compared to the D800. 

IR cut and antireflective coating properties of the optical filter remain the same with both versions.

For further details, please visit Nikon’s website.
