Record two copies of each photo: an NEF (RAW)
image and a JPEG copy.
•
For the JPEG copy, you can choose from options
prioritizing image quality or file size. Choose
options with a star (" m ") to maximize image
quality. Choose options without a star (" m ") to
ensure that the JPEG copies all have more or less
the same file size.
•
Only the JPEG copy is displayed during playback.
The NEF (RAW) copies can only be viewed using
a computer.
•
Deleting the JPEG copies on the camera also
deletes the NEF (RAW) images.

Choose options with a star (" m ") to maximize
