Software Body cap • 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. • Image Authentication: Determine whether photographs taken with image authentication (0 308) on have been modified after shooting. Note: Use the latest versions of Nikon software. Most Nikon software offers an auto update feature when the computer is connected to the Internet. See the websites listed on page xxiv for the latest information on supported operating systems. • BF-1A Body Cap: The body cap keeps the mirror, viewfinder screen, and low-pass filter free of dust when a lens is not in place. n 355
