1 All fi gures are approximate. Size of JPEG fi les varies with scene recorded.
2 Maximum number of frames that can be stored in memory buffer. Turning Long
Exp. NR on halves buffer capacity.
3Total for NEF and JPEG images.
4 Figures assume Raw compression is set to NEF (Raw). Selecting Comp. NEF
(Raw) decreases fi le size of NEF (RAW) images by approximately forty to fi fty percent;
although number of exposures remaining does not change, number of images that
can be recorded increases.
5 Figures assume JPEG compression is set to Fixed size. Selecting Optimal quality
increases fi le size of JPEG images by up to eighty percent; number of images and
buffer capacity drop accordingly.
6 Applies to JPEG images only. File size of NEF (RAW) images can not be changed.
