P Optimal quality Optimal image quality.

 

File size varies with scene recorded.

N

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

O Compressed

NEF images are compressed using a non-reversible algorithm, 
reducing file size by about 40–55% with almost no effect on image 
quality.

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 
larger files but increasing the color data recorded.

A

NEF (RAW) images can be viewed on the camera or using software such as Capture NX 2 
(available separately; 

0 281) or ViewNX 2 (available on the supplied ViewNX 2 CD). JPEG 

copies of NEF (RAW) images can be created using the NEF (RAW) processing option in the 
retouch menu (

0 258). Note that the option selected for image size does not affect the size 

of NEF (RAW) images.

A

When photographs taken at settings of NEF (RAW) + JPEG are viewed on the camera with 
only one memory card inserted, only the JPEG image will be displayed. If both copies are 
recorded to the same memory card, both copies will be erased when the photo is deleted. If 
the JPEG copy is recorded to a separate memory card using the Role played by card in 
Slot 2 > RAW Slot 1—JPEG Slot 2 option, deleting the JPEG copy will not delete the NEF 
(RAW) image.
