*1 All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded and make of memory card. *2 Maximum number of frames that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. Capacity of memory buffer will drop *3 *4
if noise reduction is on. Total for NEF and JPEG images. Figures assume Raw Compression is set to NEF (RAW). Selecting Comp. NEF (RAW) decreases file size of NEF (RAW) images by approximately forty to fifty percent; although camera displays do not change, actual number of images and buffer capacity increase. *5 Figures assume JPEG Compression is set to Fixed Size. Selecting Optimal Quality increases file size of JPEG images by up to eighty percent; number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly. *6 Applies to JPEG images only. Size of NEF (RAW) images can not be changed.
