Memory Card Capacity and Image Quality/Size

The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 256 MB card at different image quality and size settings.

Image quality	Image size	File size*	No. of images*	Buffer capacity†
NEF (Raw)	—	5.0 MB	44	4
	L	2.9 MB	73	9
JPEG Fine	M	1.6 MB	130	7
	S	0.8 MB	279	19

JPEG Basic	M	0.4 MB	481	7
	S	0.2 MB	950	49
NEF+JPEG Basic	L‡	5.8 MB**	39	4

*All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded and make of memory card.

†Maximum number of frames that can be stored in memory buffer. Actual number of

photos that can be taken before buffer fills may vary with make of memory card.

‡Size of JPEG image fixed at L. When opened in Nikon Capture 4 version 4.2 or later

(available separately) or PictureProject, NEF image is 3,008 × 2,000 pixels.

**Total file size of NEF (RAW) and JPEG images.

Large-Capacity Memory Cards

When enough memory remains on the memory card to record a thousand or more pictures at current settings, the number of exposures remaining will be shown in thousands, rounded down to the nearest hundred (e.g., if there is room for approximately 1,260 exposures, the exposure count display will show 1.2 K).
