algorithm, reducing file size by about 20–40%
with no effect on image quality.
O

NEF images are compressed using a non-
reversible algorithm, reducing file size by about
35–55% with almost no effect on image quality.
Option Description
q
12-bit
NEF (RAW) images are recorded at a bit-depth of
12 bits.

NEF (RAW) images are recorded at a bit depth of
14 bits, producing files larger than those with a
bit depth of 12 bits but increasing the color data
recorded.
