Size of JPEG files varies with scene recorded. 2 Maximum number of frames that can be stored in memory buffer. Turning Long Exp. NR on halves buffer capacity. 3 Total for NEF and JPEG images. 4 Figures assume Raw compression is set to NEF (Raw). Selecting Comp. NEF (Raw) decreases file size of NEF (RAW) images by approximately forty to fifty percent; although number of exposures remaining does not change, number of images that can be recorded increases. 5 Figures assume JPEG compression is set to Fixed size. Selecting Optimal quality increases file size of JPEG images by up to eighty percent; number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly. 6 Applies to JPEG images only. File size of NEF (RAW) images can not be changed. 48
