Memory Card Capacity

The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 16 GB SanDisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s UHS-I SDHC card at different image quality (0 Image Quality), image size (0 Image Size), and image area settings (as of June 2017; 0 Image Area).

DX (24×16) Image Area

Image quality Image size File size 1 No. of images 1 Buffer capacity 2
NEF (RAW), Lossless compressed, 12-bit — 20.5 MB 436 74
NEF (RAW), Lossless compressed, 14-bit — 25.5 MB 339 50
NEF (RAW), Compressed, 12-bit — 17.5 MB 587 100
NEF (RAW), Compressed, 14-bit — 21.5 MB 492 73
JPEG fine 3 Large 10.4 MB 1000 100
Medium 6.3 MB 1700 100
Small 3.4 MB 3300 100
JPEG normal 3 Large 5.3 MB 2000 100
Medium 3.3 MB 3300 100
Small 1.8 MB 6300 100
JPEG basic 3 Large 2.8 MB 4000 100
Medium 1.8 MB 6300 100
Small 1.0 MB 11,300 100

All figures are approximate. File size varies with scene recorded.

Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. Drops at image qualities marked with a star (“”) or when auto distortion control is on.

Figures assume size-priority JPEG compression. Selecting an image-quality option marked with a star (“”; optimal compression) increases the file size of JPEG images; number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly.

d2—Max. Continuous Release (0 Max. Continuous Release)

The maximum number of photographs that can be taken in a single burst can be set to any amount between 1 and 100.
