ecord two copies of each photo: an NEF (RAW) picture and either
a JPEG or HEIF copy.
When [SDR] is select
ed for [Tone mode] in the photo shooting
menu, the camera will record an NEF (RAW) picture and a JPEG
copy. When [HLG] is selected for [Tone mode] in the photo
shooting menu, the camera will record an NEF (RAW) picture
and an HEIF copy.
The highest-quality JPEG and HEIF copies are produced by
options ending in [fine ], with quality progressively declining
through [fine], [normal ], [normal], [basic ], and [basic].
The camera displays only the JPEG or HEIF copy of dual-format
pictures taken with one memory card inserted.
If the photo was recorded with only one memory card inserted
or with [Overflow] or [Backup] selected for [Secondary slot
function] in the photo shooting menu and two memory cards
inserted, deleting the JPEG or HEIF copy on the camera will also
delete the NEF (RAW) picture.
