ANEF (RAW)

The option selected for image size does not affect the size of NEF (RAW) images. NEF (RAW) images can be viewed on the camera or using software such as Capture NX 2 (available separately; 0 164) or ViewNX 2 (supplied).

AFile Names

Photos and movies are stored as image files with names of the form “xxx_nnnn.yyy,” where:

•xxx is either NMS (Motion Snapshots recorded with NMS files selected for File format; 0 123) or DSC (photos, MOV-format Motion Snapshots, and movies, including copies created with Edit movie; 0 114),

•nnnn a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automat- ically in ascending order by the camera, and

•yyy one of the following three letter extensions: “NEF” for NEF (RAW) images, “JPG” for JPEG images, or “MOV” for movies.

Trimmed copies created with Edit movie (0 114) have file names beginning with “DSC”; copies created with the other retouch options in the playback menu have file names beginning with “CSC” (e.g., “CSC_0001.JPG”). Images recorded with Adobe RGB selected for Color space (0 125) have names that begin with an underscore (e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”).

AImage Quality and Size

Together, image quality and size determine how much space each photograph occupies on the memory card. Larger, higher quality images can be printed at larger sizes but also require more memory, meaning that fewer such images can be stored on the memory card (0 179).
