"NEF (RAW) + JPEG"
•
The camera displays only the JPEG copies of photos recorded at image
quality settings of "NEF (RAW) + JPEG". If only one memory card was
inserted in the camera when the photos were recorded, the NEF (RAW)
copies can only be viewed using a computer.
•
In the case of photos recorded with only one memory card inserted,
deleting the JPEG copies on the camera also deletes the NEF (RAW)
images.
•
If [RAW Slot 1 - JPEG Slot 2] is selected for [Role played by card in Slot
2], the NEF (RAW) copies will be recorded to the card in Slot 1 and the
JPEG copies to the card in Slot 2 ( 0 308).
