Retouch

The camera may not be able to display or retouch pictures that were taken or retouched using other cameras or that have been retouched on a computer.
If no actions are performed for a brief period, the display will turn off and any unsaved changes will be lost. To increase the time the display remains on, choose a longer menu display time using Custom Setting c4 [Monitor off delay] > [Menus].

Retouching Copies

Most items can be applied to copies created using other retouch options, although multiple edits may result in reduced image quality or faded colors.
With the exception of [Trim movie], each item can be applied only once.
Some items may be unavailable depending on the items used to create the copy.
Items that cannot be applied to the current picture are grayed out and unavailable.

Image Quality

Copies created from NEF (RAW) pictures are saved at an [Image quality] of [JPEG fine c].
Copies created from JPEG pictures are the same quality as the original.
In the case of dual-format pictures recorded to the same memory card at image-quality settings of NEF + JPEG, only the NEF (RAW) copy will be retouched.

Image Size

Except in the case of copies created with [Trim] and [Resize], copies are the same size as the original.
