The QUAL Button
If the monitor is off, image quality and size can be set
by pressing the
(QUAL) button and rotating the
command dial until the desired combination of image
quality and size is displayed in the control panel.
File Names
Photographs are stored as image fi les with names of the form “DSC_nnnn.xxx,”
where nnnn is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 as signed automati-
cally in ascending order by the camera, and xxx is one of the following three letter
extensions: “NEF” for NEF images, “JPG” for JPEG im ag es, and “NDF” for Dust
Off ref photos. The NEF and JPEG fi les recorded at a setting of NEF + JPEG Basic
have the same fi le names but different extensions. Small copies created with the
small picture option have fi le names beginning with “SSC_” and ending with the
extension “.JPG” (e.g., “SSC_0001.JPG”), while images recorded at an Optimize
Image > Color Mode setting of II (Adobe RGB) have names that begin with
an underscore, (e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”, or “_SSC0001.JPG” for small copies of
Color Mode II pictures).
