Image Quality
*
1
All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded and make of memory card.
*
2
Maximum number of frames that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. Capacity of memory buffer will drop
if noise reduction is on.
*
3
Total for NEF and JPEG images.
*
4
Figures assume Raw Compression is set to NEF (RAW). Selecting Comp. NEF (RAW) decreases file size of NEF (RAW)
images by approximately forty to fifty percent; although camera displays do not change, actual number of images and
buf
fer capacity increase.
*
5
Figures assume JPEG Compression is set to Fixed Size. Selecting Optimal Quality increases file size of JPEG images
by up to eighty percent; number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly
.

6
Applies to JPEG images only. Size of NEF (RAW) images can not be changed.
