==D800/D800E Specific Operational Considerations==
The following operational considerations apply only to the D800/D800E.

===D800 vs. D800E===
The D800E uses an optical filter with all anti-aliasing properties removed with the aim of producing the sharpest images possible. Nikon reports that, aside from the optical filter, all functions and features are the same as on the D800. Likewise, our extensive testing suggests that the D800 and D800E perform comparably with PocketWizard radios. In terms of HyperSync performance, they are identical - if you are using the D800, the PDFs for D800E HyperSync performance will apply to your camera. For more information on the difference between these camera models, visit [http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d800/features01.htm Nikon's D800/D800E page].

===Camera Firmware===
For best results, use the latest camera body firmware. The latest firmware for the D800/D800E is A:1.01 / B:1.02, available for download at [https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/18262 Nikon Service & Support].
