Adjusting Image Quality
Choose the image quality option used when photographs are
recorded.
Option Description
[ NEF (RAW) +
JPEG fine c ]
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 (“
c
”) to maximize image quality.
Choose options without a star (“ c ”) to ensure that
the JPEG copies all have more or less the same file
size.
•
Only the JPEG copy is displayed during playback. 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.
•
If the photo was recorded with only one memory
card inserted or with [
Overflow ] or [ Backup ]
selected for [ Role played by card in Slot 2 ] and two
memory cards inserted, deleting the JPEG copy on
the camera will also delete the NEF (RAW) image.
