7100 NRW (RAW) Images
• The extension of the picture taken is “.NRW.”
• NRW (RAW) images cannot be printed. Creating JPEG images with NRW (RAW) processing
enables the images to be printed using PictBridge compatible printers or in digital photo labs.
• No editing other than NRW (RAW) processing can be performed for images in the NRW (RAW)
format. To edit such images, first create JPEG images using NRW (RAW) processing ( E17), and
then edit the JPEG images.
• ViewNX 2 needs to be installed on the computer to be able to view NRW (RAW) images on the
computer. Capture NX 2 is also compatible with NRW (RAW) images.
• Install ViewNX 2 on a computer using the included ViewNX 2 CD-ROM. (See “Using ViewNX 2”
( A92).)
For more information on using ViewNX 2, refer to the on-screen instructions and help information
contained in ViewNX 2.

Image Quality Setting
• The setting for image quality is shown by an icon displayed on the monitor during shooting and
playback ( A8 to 10).
• The setting is also applied to other shooting modes (except for shooting modes E, F and N).
• NRW (RAW) images cannot be recorded in the following shooting modes.
- Scene mode
- Special effect mode (except for Zoom exposure and Defocus during exposure)
- Low noise night mode
When the mode is changed to scene mode or special effect mode (except for Zoom exposure
and Defocus during exposure) from other shooting modes, the image quality is changed
according to situation as follows.
- When NRW (RAW) is set, the image quality is changed to Normal.
- When NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal or NRW (RAW) + Basic is set, the image
quality is changed to Fine, Normal or Basic, respectively.
• The digital zoom cannot be used when Image quality is set to NRW (RAW), NRW (RAW) + Fine,
NRW (RAW) + Normal or NRW (RAW) + Basic.
• This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See “Features That Cannot Be
Used Simultaneously” ( A80) for more information.

Recording of NRW (RAW) and JPEG Images at the Same Time
• The NRW (RAW) image and the JPEG image that are recorded at the same time have the same file
number but their own file extensions, “.NRW ” and “.JPG” ( E99).
• When playing back on the camera, only the JPEG image is displayed.
• Note that when the JPEG image is deleted by pressing the
l button, the NRW (RAW) image that
was recorded at the same time is also deleted.
