All figures are approximate. Results will vary with card type, camera settings, and scene recorded.
Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. Drops when noise reduction (0 Noise Reduction), auto distortion control (0 Auto Distortion Control), or Date stamp (0 Date Stamp) is on.
Image size applies to JPEG images only. Size of NEF (RAW) images cannot be changed. File size is the total for NEF (RAW) and JPEG images.
