The camera supports the following image quality options (the first four are listed in descending order by image quality and file size). Option U V V (default setting) W X Format NEF Description Compressed raw data from the image sensor are saved directly to memory card. Choose for images that will be processed or retouched on a computer to control image degradation. To print these images, use JPEG-format copies processed from NEF (RAW) photographs using the Quick retouch option (A 132) or the NEF (RAW) processing option (A 140) in the retouch menu, or use software that supports the NEF format on a computer.
