Memory Card Capacity The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 8 GB SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC UHS-I card at different image quality and size settings. Note that buffer capacity drops at ISO sensitivities of 1600 or higher. Image quality Image size File size 1 No. of images 1 Buffer capacity 2 NEF (RAW)+ JPEG fine 3 Large 31.9 MB 171 10 NEF (RAW) - 20.4 MB 259 18 Large 11.9 MB 509 80 JPEG fine Medium 7.4 MB 853 100 Small 3.8 MB 1600 100 Large 6.2 MB 1000 100 JPEG normal Medium 3.7 MB 1600 100 Small 1.9 MB 3200 100 Large 3.0 MB 1900 100 JPEG basic Medium 1.9 MB 3200 100 Small 1.0 MB 6300 100 1 All figures are approximate. Results will vary with card type, camera settings, and scene recorded. 2 Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. Drops when noise reduction (0 131) or auto distortion control (0 130) 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 NEF (RAW) and JPEG images. A File Names Photographs are stored as image files with names of the form "DSC_nnnn.xxx," where nnnn is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending order by the camera, and xxx is one of the following three letter extensions: "NEF" for NEF images, "JPG" for JPEG images, or "MOV" for movies. The NEF and JPEG files recorded at a setting of NEF (RAW) + JPEG fine have the same file names but different extensions. Copies created n with image overlay (0 155) and movie edit options (0 93) have file names beginning with "DSC_" ; copies created with the other options in the retouch menu have file names beginning with "CSC" (e.g., "CSC_0001.JPG"). Images recorded with the Color space option in the shooting menu set to Adobe RGB (0 130) have names that begin with an underscore (e.g., "_DSC0001.JPG"). 188
