1 All figures are approximate.
File size varies with scene recorded and make of memory
card.
2 Maximum number of frames that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100.
Capacity of

Selecting
Comp. NEF (RAW)
decreases file size of NEF (RAW) images by approximately forty to fifty percent; although
camera displays do not change, number of images that can be recorded increases.
5 Figures assume

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.

, camera never shows more than 25
frames remaining in buffer, even when more shots can be stored.
