NEF images are compressed using a reversible
algorithm, reducing file size by about 20–40% with
no effect on image quality.
O

Description
q
12-bit
NEF (RAW) images are recorded at a bit depth of
12 bits.
r
14-bit
NEF (RAW) images are recorded at a bit depth of
14 bits, producing files larger than those with a bit
depth of 12 bits but increasing the color data
recorded.
