Memory Card Capacity
The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on
a 8 GB SanDisk Extreme SDHC card at different image quality and size settings.
Image quality
NEF (RAW), Lossless
compressed, 12-bit
NEF (RAW), Lossless
compressed, 14-bit
NEF (RAW), Compressed, 12-bit
NEF (RAW), Compressed, 14-bit
JPEG fine

JPEG basic
1 All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded.
2 Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. Drops if Optimal
quality is selected for JPEG compression or long exposure noise reduction is on.
3 Figures assume JPEG compression is set to Size priority. Selecting Optimal quality increases the file
size of JPEG images; number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly.
A
d7—Max. Continuous Release (0 217)
The maximum number of photographs that can be taken in a single burst can be set to any
amount between 1 and 100.
