1 All figures are approximate.
Results will vary with card type, camera settings, and scene recorded.
2 Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100.
Drops when long
exposure noise reduction (0 153) or auto distortion control (0 151) is on.
3 Image size applies to JPEG images only.
Size of NEF (RAW) images can not be changed.
File size is the
total for NEF (RAW) and JPEG images.
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 “MOV” for movies.
The NEF and JPEG files recorded at a setting of
NEF (RAW)+JPEG have the same file names but different extensions.
Copies created with
image overlay (0 184) and movie edit options (0 107) have file names beginning with
“DSC_” ; copies created 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 (0 152) have names that begin with an underscore
(e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”).
