  1. If Auto DX crop is selected for Image area, DX-format images will be recorded with DX lenses, FX-format images with other lenses.
  2. All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded.
  3. Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer. Drops if Optimal quality is selected for JPEG compression, ISO sensitivity is set to H 0.3 or higher, High ISO NR is on when auto ISO sensitivity control is on or ISO sensitivity is set to 2000 or higher, or long exposure noise reduction, active D-lighting, or image authentication is on.
  4. Figures assume JPEG compression is set to Size priority. Selecting Optimal quality increases the file size of JPEG images; number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly.
