Filters •
Filters intended for special-effects photography may 
interfere with autofocus or the electronic rangefinder.
• The D810 can not be used with  linear polarizing filters.
 Use the C-PL or C-PLII circular polarizing filter instead.
• Use NC filters to protect the lens.
• To prevent ghosting, use of a filter is not recommended 
when the subject is framed against a bright light, or 
when a bright light source is in the frame.
• Center-weighted metering is recommended with 
filters with exposure factors (filter factors) over 1 × (Y44, 
Y48, Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S,
