NEF (RAW)/NEF (RAW) + JPEG
The option selected for image size does not affect the size of NEF (RAW)
images. NEF (RAW) images can be viewed on the camera or using soft-
ware such as Capture NX 2 (available separately;
0 158) or ViewNX 2
(supplied).
When photographs taken at NEF (RAW) + JPEG are viewed on the cam-
era, only the JPEG image will be displayed. When photographs taken at
these settings are deleted, both NEF and JPEG images will be deleted.

File Names
Photos and movies are stored as image files with names of the form
“xxx_nnnn.yyy,” where xxx is either NMS (Motion Snapshots) or DSC
(other photos and movies), nnnn a four-digit number between 0001
and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending order by the camera,
and yyy one of the following three letter extensions: “NEF” for NEF
(RAW) images, “JPG” for JPEG images, or “MOV” for movies. The NEF
and JPEG files recorded at settings of NEF (RAW)+JPEG have the same
file names but different extensions. Trimmed copies created with Edit
movie (
0 100) have file names beginning with “DSC_”; copies created
with the other retouch options in the playback menu have file names
beginning with “CSC” (e.g., “CSC_0001. JPG”). Images recorded with
Adobe RGB selected for Color space (
0 131) have names that begin
with an underscore (e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”).

Image Quality and Size
Together, image quality and size determine how much space each pho-
tograph occupies on the memory card. Larger, higher quality images
can be printed at larger sizes but also require more memory, meaning
that fewer such images can be stored on the memory card (
