Taking Photographs-Image Quality and Size Memory Card Capacity and Image Quality/Size The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 1 GB card at different image quality and size settings.

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. 50

2Maximum number of frames that can be stored in memory buffer.
Drops when

or higher, or when
High ISO NR
is on and Custom Setting b1 (

RAW compression
is set to

Selecting
Comp. NEF

decreases file size of NEF (RAW) images by approximately forty to fifty per-
cent; although number of exposures remaining does not change, number of images
that can be recorded increases.

increases file size of JPEG images by up to eighty percent; number of images and
buffer capacity drop accordingly.
