White Balance Bracketing

White balance bracketing can not be used with NEF (RAW) images. Selecting an NEF (RAW) option for image quality cancels white balance bracketing. White balance for NEF (RAW) images can be adjusted using Nikon Capture 4 (available separately; 223).

File Names

Photographs are stored as image files with names of the form “DSC_nnnn.xxx,” where

nnnnis a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascend- ing order by the camera, and xxx is one of the following three letter extensions: “NEF”

for NEF images, “TIF” for TIFF-RGB, “JPG” for JPEG images, and “NDF” for Dust Off

ref photos ( 214–215). The NEF and JPEG files recorded at a setting of “NEF+JPEG” have the same file names but different extensions. Images recorded at a Color Mode

setting of II (Adobe RGB) ( 67) have names that begin with an underbar (e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”). The “DSC” portion of the file name can be changed using the File name option in the shooting menu ( 166).
