1. All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded and make of memory card.
2. Maximum number of frames that can be taken before shooting stops at ISO 100. Capacity of buffer (number of
frames that can be taken before buffer is full and shooting slows) is displayed in control panel. Capacity of memory
buffer drops if noise reduction is on.
3. Image size applies to JPEG images only. Size of RAW (NEF) images can not be changed. File size is the total for
compressed RAW (NEF) and JPEG images.
