File Naming
Photographs are saved using file names consisting of “DSC_” or, in
the case of images that use the Adobe RGB color space, “_DSC”,
followed by a four-digit number and a three-letter extension (e.g.,
“DSC_0001.JPG”). The File naming option is used to select three
letters to replace the “DSC” portion of the file name. For
information on editing file names, see steps 2 and 3 of “Renaming
Shooting Menu Banks” (pg. 270). Note that the portion of the
name that can be edited is a maximum of three characters long.

Extensions
The following extensions are used: “.NEF” for NEF (RAW) images, “.TIF” for
TIFF (RGB) images, “.JPG” for JPEG images, and “.NDF” for dust off reference
data.
Image Quality

Image Size

Image Area
Although the D700 can record photographs with the same
diagonal picture angle as a 35mm format camera using a 3 : 2
aspect ratio, it can also be used to record photographs with the
smaller DX picture angle (pg. 58).
