Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Camera - Manual (Page 888)

888 Memory Card Capacity
1 Figures are for a ProGrade Digital COBALT 1700R 325GB memory card (as
of September 2021) with a NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8S lens mounted on the
camera.
2 Number of pictures that can be saved to memory card or stored in
memory buffer varies with scene recorded.
3 Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at
ISO 100. May drop in some situations, including when:
• an optimal-compression ([ m ]) JPEG option is selected for [ Image
quality ] or
• [ ON ] is selected for [ Auto distortion control ].
4 Figures assume a size-priority option (an option not marked with [ m ]) is
selected for [ Image quality ]. Selecting an optimal-compression ([ m ])
option increases file size; the number of images and buffer capacity drop
accordingly.
