Nikon Capture 4

Nikon takes a unique approach to the

development of Nikon Digital Imaging

System products by fully integrating

the ﬂow of image creation, from Camera

to NEF to Nikon Capture software. By

ensuring that camera operation and

processing information is faithfully

transported with the NEF ﬁle and made

available for Nikon Capture's advanced

image processing capability, this

unique integrated system harnesses

the power of the computer to extend the

photographer's ability to modify and

extend the processing of each NEF ﬁle.

Nikon Capture therefore becomes a tool

with which the photographer can further
