Taking Photographs—Image Quality and Size
*
All fi gures are approximate. Size of JPEG fi les varies with scene recorded.
†
Maximum number of frames that can be stored in memory buffer.
‡
Image size applies to JPEG images only. When opened in software provided with
camera or in Nikon Capture 4, NEF im ag es are 2,464 × 1,632 pixels in size.
**
Total fi le size of NEF (RAW) and JPEG images. File size of compressed NEF (RAW) im-
ages is approximately fi fty to sixty percent of uncompressed NEF images.
††
Number of exposures remaining shown in control and viewfi nder is the same as in
the case of uncompressed NEF (RAW) images. The actual number of images that can
be stored on the memory card is higher than shown.
‡‡
File size of compressed NEF (RAW) images is approximately fi fty to sixty percent of
uncompressed NEF images.
Number of Exposures Remaining
The number of exposures remaining shown in the ex po sure count dis plays in the
con trol panel and viewfi nder is only an ap prox i ma tion. The number of compressed
NEF or JPEG im ag es that can be stored on a memory card de pends on the subject and
com po si tion of each photograph. In gen er al, the more de tailed the image, the larger
the re sult ing fi le and the fewer the images that can be stored.
Large-Capacity Memory Cards
When enough mem o ry re mains on the memory card to
record a thou sand or more pic tures at cur rent set tings,
the num ber of exposures re main ing will be shown in
thou sands, round ed down to the near est hun dred (e.g.,
if there is room for ap prox i mate ly 1,260 ex po sures, the
ex po sure count dis play will show 1.2 K).
d2—Maximum Shots ( 188)
In continuous mode, Custom Setting d2 (Maximum shots) can be used to limit the
maximum number of photographs that can be taken in a single burst to any amount
between one and forty.
