mal,  NEF (Raw) + JPEG Basic,  JPEG Fine,

Photographs are stored as image fi les with names of the form “DSC_nnnn.xxx,” 
where nnnn is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 as signed automatically 
in ascending order by the camera, and xxx is one of the following three letter exten-
sions: “NEF” for NEF images, “TIF” for TIFF-RGB, “JPG” for JPEG im ag es, and “NDF” 
for Dust Off ref photos (

 217–218).  The NEF and JPEG fi les recorded at a setting of 

“NEF+JPEG” have the same fi le names but different extensions.  Images recorded at a 
Color space setting of AdobeRGB (

 69) have names that begin with an underbar 

(e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”).  The “DSC” portion of the fi le name can be changed using 
the File Naming option in the shooting menu (

 171).
