NEF (RAW) +
JPEG basic
NEF/
JPEG
Two images are recorded: one NEF (RAW) image and one basic-
quality JPEG image.
A NEF (RAW) Images
Note that the option selected for image size does not affect the size of NEF (RAW) or
NEF (RAW)+JPEG images.
Date imprint (0 136) is not available at image quality settings of
NEF (RAW) or NEF (RAW)+JPEG.
NEF (RAW) images can be viewed on the camera or using software such as Capture NX 2
(available separately; 0 167) or ViewNX (available on the supplied Software Suite CD).
JPEG
copies of NEF (RAW) images can be created using the NEF (RAW) processing option in the
retouch menu (0 149).
A NEF (RAW)/NEF+JPEG
When photographs taken at NEF (RAW) + JPEG basic are viewed on the camera, only the
JPEG image will be displayed.
When photographs taken at these settings are deleted, both
NEF and JPEG images will be deleted.
A File Names
Photographs are stored as image files with names of the form “DSC_nnnn.xxx,” where nnnn
is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending order by
the camera, and xxx is one of the following three letter extensions: “NEF” for NEF images,
“JPG” for JPEG images, or “AVI” for stop-motion movies.
The NEF and JPEG files recorded at a
setting of NEF (RAW) + JPEG basic have the same file names but different extensions.
Small
copies created with the small picture option in the retouch menu have file names beginning
with “SSC_” and ending with the extension “.JPG” (e.g., “SSC_0001.JPG”).
Stop motion
movies have file names beginning with “ASC_” (e.g., “ASC_0001.AVI”); images recorded with
the other options in the retouch menu have file names beginning with “CSC” (e.g.,
“CSC_0001. JPG”).
Images recorded with the Color space option in the shooting menu set
to Adobe RGB (0 121) have names that begin with an underscore (e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”).
A The Shooting Menu
Image quality can also be adjusted using the Image quality option
in the shooting menu (0 119).
A The Fn Button
Image quality and size can also be adjusted by pressing the Fn (E) button and rotating the
command dial (0 134).
