Dual-Format Recording
  • If you select [RAW Slot 1 - JPEG Slot 2] for [Role played by card in Slot 2] in the photo shooting menu when taking pictures with a NEF (RAW) + JPEG option selected for image quality, the NEF (RAW) copies will be recorded to the card in Slot 1 and the JPEG copies to the card in Slot 2.

  • If a JPEG option is selected for image quality and [JPEG Slot 1 - JPEG Slot 2] is selected for [Role played by card in Slot 2], the camera will record two copies of each picture, one to each memory card and each at different sizes.
