Choose a compression type and bit depth for NEF (RAW) photographs.
NEF (RAW) Compression
|
Option |
Description |
|
|---|---|---|
|
N |
[] |
NEF images are compressed using a reversible algorithm. The resulting files are about 60% to 80% the size of uncompressed pictures. |
|
O |
[] |
NEF images are compressed using a non-reversible algorithm. The resulting files are about 45% to 65% the size of uncompressed pictures. |
NEF (RAW) Bit Depth
|
Option |
Description |
|
|---|---|---|
|
q |
[] |
NEF (RAW) images are recorded at a bit depth of 12 bits. |
|
r |
[] |
NEF (RAW) images are recorded at a bit depth of 14 bits. Files recorded at a bit depth of 14 bits contain more color data than pictures recorded using []. Files recorded at a bit depth of 14 bits are also larger than pictures recorded using []. |
