RAW images of this camera
•
RA
W processing and image editing cannot be performed on this camera. If you
download RAW images to a computer, you can use the software ViewNX-i or Capture NX-
D to perform RAW processing and image editing. See “
Transferring images to a
comput
er (page 250)” for information about downloading images. To use the software,
see the corresponding help.
•
To print RAW images, download them to a computer and use ViewNX-i or Capture NX-D.
Saving of RAW and JPEG images at the same time
•
T
he RAW image and the JPEG image that are saved at the same time have the same le
number but with their own extensions, “.NRW” and “.JPG” respectively.
•
When playing back on the camera, only the JPEG image is displayed.
•
Note that when the JPEG image is deleted, the RAW image that was saved at the same
time is also deleted.
Number of images that can be saved
•
T
he approximate number of images that can be saved can be checked on the screen
when shooting.
•
Not
e that due to JPEG compression, the number of images that can be saved may vary
greatly depending on the image content, even when using memory cards with the same
capacity and the same image quality and image size settings. In addition, the number of
images that can be saved may vary depending on the make of the memory card.
•
If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposures
remaining display shows “9999.”
