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

2.Maximum number of frames that can be taken before shooting stops at ISO 100. Capacity of memory buffer drops if noise reduction is on.

3.Image size applies to JPEG images only. Size of NEF (RAW) images can not be changed. File size is the total for compressed NEF (RAW) and JPEG images.
