Capture the moon's surface sharply
using the electronic front-curtain shutter
(Moon surface)

Combining a long-focal-length telescope with the D810A allows you to photograph the moon's surface and landscapes in the finest detail, with a highest resolution image of 36.3 million effective megapixels. However, this also exaggerates the minutest shake which would otherwise be unnoticed in astrophotography captured with other cameras. For shooting the surface of the moon, setting the camera’s release mode to (mirror-up) and using the electronic front-curtain shutter will absolutely minimize the camera shake because there is no vibration produced by the mirror or mechanical front-shutter's movements.
