Image Quality Options
The image quality options av
ailable when HLG is selected for tone mode are listed below.
Option Description
[RA
W+ JPEG/HEIF finem]
Record two copies of each photo: an NEF (RAW) picture and an
HEIF copy
.
Choose options with a star (“m”) to maximize the quality of the
HEIF copies. Choose options without a star (“m”) to ensure that
the HEIF copies all have more or less the same file size.
The camera displays only the HEIF copy of dual-format pictures
taken with one memory card inserted.
If the photo was recorded with only one memory card inserted
or with [Overflow] or [Backup] selected for [Secondary slot
function] in the photo shooting menu and two memory cards
inserted, deleting the HEIF copy on the camera will also delete
the NEF (RAW) picture.
