Memory Card Capacity
The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be stored on a 64 GB 1 card at different image area, image quality, and image size settings. Actual capacity varies with shooting conditions and the type of card.
[
] Selected for Image AreaThe following table shows the memory card and buffer capacity when [
] is selected for [ ] > [ ] in the photo shooting menu.-
This category also includes images taken with non-DX lenses when [
] is selected for [ ] > [ ].

Figures are for a 64 GB SanDisk SD UHS-II memory card (SDSDXPK-064G-JNJIP, measured in September 2019).
-
Number of pictures that can be saved to memory card or stored in memory buffer varies with scene recorded.
-
Maximum number of exposures that can be stored in memory buffer at ISO 100. May drop in some situations, including when:
-
An optimal-compression (m) JPEG option is selected for [ ]
-
[
] is selected for [ ]
-
-
Figures assume a size-priority option (an option not marked with m) is selected for [ ]. Selecting an optimal-compression option (m) increases file size; the number of images and buffer capacity drop accordingly.
The maximum number of photographs that can be taken in a single burst can be set to any amount between 1 and 100 using Custom Setting d2 [
].
