Choose for images that will be processed on a computer. JPEG Fine Images are compressed less than JPEG Normal, producing higher-quality images. Compression ratio: roughly 1 : 4. JPEG Normal (default) Best choice in most situations. Compression ratio: roughly 1 : 8. JPEG Basic Smaller file size suited to e-mail or the Web. Compression ratio: roughly 1 : 16. NEF (RAW) + JPEG Fine Two images are recorded: one NEF (RAW) image and one fine-quality JPEG image. NEF (RAW) + Two images are recorded: one NEF (RAW) image and one normal-quality JPEG im- JPEG Normal age. NEF (RAW) + JPEG Basic Two images are recorded: one NEF (RAW) image and one basic-quality JPEG image. Image quality can be set by pressing the QUAL button and rotating the main command dial until the desired setting is displayed in the control panel. Image quality can also be adjusted from the shooting menu ( 81). NEF (RAW)/NEF+JPEG Capture NX (available separately; 123) or the supplied PictureProject software are required to view NEF (RAW) images on a computer. When photographs taken at NEF (RAW) + JPEG Fine, NEF (RAW) + JPEG Normal, or NEF (RAW) + JPEG Basic are viewed on the camera, only the JPEG image will be displayed. When photographs taken at these settings are deleted, both NEF and JPEG images will be deleted. White balance bracketing ( 90) is not available when an NEF (RAW) + JPEG option is selected for image quality. Selecting an NEF (RAW) + JPEG option cancels white balance bracketing. 34 Reference: More on Photography (All Modes) / Image Quality and Size
