Turning the Camera Off

Do not remove the memory card from the camera while images are being transferred from the buffer to the card (if the buffer contains forty photographs, at least 55 seconds will be required). Failure to observe this precaution could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or the card. If power switch is turned to the off position while data remain in the buffer, the camera will turn off once the image that is currently being written to the card has been saved. Any other images remaining in the buffer will be lost. If the battery is exhausted while photo- graphs are being shot in continuous mode, the shutter release will be disabled and all photo- graphs in the buffer will be recorded to the memory card.

The length of time required to record photographs to a Nikon EC-96CF (96-MB) CompactFlash card is shown in the following table:

Image quality	File format	Approximate
		recording time
	YCbCr-TIFF	230 s (17 frames)
High	RGB-TIFF	235 s (12 frames)
	RAW (uncompressed)	235 s (23 frames)
	RAW (compressed)	180 s (23 frames)
JPEG Fine	JPEG (1 : 4)	130 s (40 frames)
JPEG Normal	JPEG (1 : 8)	85 s (40 frames)
JPEG Basic	JPEG (1 : 16)	55 s (40 frames)

*The rate at which images are recorded varies with the make of memory card used.
