Nikon Capture 3 Version 3.5
This document describes the features that have been added with the release of Nikon Capture 3 version 3.5. Page numbers refer to the
Nikon Capture 3 User’s Manual, Third Edition.
Vignette Control for RAW Images (pg. 136)
Vignette Control has been added to the image adjustment tool palettes. The Vignette Control palette is used to correct for loss of
marginal lumination, a phenomenon associated with camera lenses that causes a drop in brightness at the edges of a photograph.
Vignette Control is most effective when performed on images taken at maximum aperture. If the picture in the active image win-
dow is a RAW image taken with a lens equipped to transmit distance information (i.e., a type G or D lens) mounted on a camera
that can record this information, Nikon Capture 3 will use the lens information recorded with the image to automatically select an
optimal value for Vignette Control. Where lens information is not available, Vignette Control will be based on default lens charac-
teristics. To determine whether a given combination of lens and camera will record distance information, see the table below.

gnette Control palette by clicking the button.
Apply button
Settings menu
2
Adjust settings
If the Apply button is off (), turn it on ().
Intensity
Vignette control can be performed manually by dragging the Intensity slider or entering a value in the text box to its right.
Choose a value between –100 and +200 according to the drop in marginal lumination exhibited by the lens in use. The
default value is 80; if 0 is selected, no vignette control will be performed.
Vignette Control
The controls in the Vignette Control palette are only available if the image in the active window is a RAW (NEF) photograph taken with a D1-series
or D100 camera. If the image in the active window is JPEG or TIFF, the Apply button in the Vignette Control palette will be grayed out and inactive.
Vignette control can not be used to correct vignetting caused by PC Nikkor lenses or Speedlight photography.
Where Distance Information Is Not Available
If the photograph in the active window is a RAW image taken with a lens that does not transmit distance information to the camera or with a D1-
series camera not equipped to record distance information, Vignette Control will be based on default lens characteristics. Care may be required
to prevent over-correction.
At factory defaults (the default settings stored in the fi le “”), the Apply button is off () and Intensity is set to 80.
