The setting chosen in the Raw compression menu takes ef- fect whenever image quality is set to NEF + JPEG Fine, NEF + JPEG Normal, NEF + JPEG Basic, or NEF (Raw).

Image Size

Image size is measured in pixels. Smaller sizes produce smaller files, making them suited to distribution via e-mail or inclusion in web pages. Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed without becoming noticeably “grainy.” Choose image size according to the space available on the memory card and the task at hand.
