*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

if noise reduction is on.

*3

Total for NEF and JPEG images.

*

4

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.
