Retouch
  • The camera may not be able to display or retouch pictures that were taken or retouched using other cameras or that have been retouched on a computer.

  • If no actions are performed for a brief period, the display will turn off and any unsaved changes will be lost. To increase the time the display remains on, choose a longer menu display time using Custom Setting c4 [Monitor off delay] > [Menus].

Retouching Copies
  • Most items can be applied to copies created using other retouch options, although multiple edits may result in reduced image quality or faded colors.

  • With the exception of [Trim movie], each item can be applied only once.

  • Some items may be unavailable depending on the items used to create the copy.

  • Items that cannot be applied to the current picture are grayed out and unavailable.

Image Quality
  • Copies created from NEF (RAW) pictures are saved at an [Image quality] of [JPEG fine c].

  • Copies created from JPEG pictures are the same quality as the original.

  • In the case of dual-format pictures recorded to the same memory card at image-quality settings of NEF + JPEG, only the NEF (RAW) copy will be retouched.

Image Size

Except in the case of copies created with [Trim] and [Resize], copies are the same size as the original.
