Cropped Copies

Cropped copies are stored as JPEG files with a compression ratio of 1 : 8. Depending on the size of the original and the zoom ratio at the time the copy was created, copies will be 2,288 × 1,712 (), 2,048 × 1,536 (), 1,600 × 1,200 (), 1,280 × 960 (), 1,024 × 768 (), 640 × 480 (), 320 × 240 (), or 160 × 120 () pixels in size. Cop- ies are created with the same transfer marking and date and time or recording as the original, but any changes to transfer marking or to protect and print attributes must be made separately. See the Appendix for more information on how cropped copies are stored ( 93–94).

Copies can only be created if sufficient memory is available. Cropped copies may not display or transfer correctly when viewed on other models of Nikon camera. Cropping is not available with movies ( 40), small pictures ( 70), or cropped copies.
