Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Camera - Manual (Page 106)

106 Image Recording Options (Image Area, Quality, and Size)
Option Description
[ RAW + JPEG fine m ]
Record two copies of each photo: an NEF (RAW)
picture and a JPEG copy.
• For the JPEG copy, you can choose from options
prioritizing image quality or file size. Choose
options with a star (“
m ”) to maximize image
quality. Choose options without a star (“ m ”) to
ensure that the JPEG copies all have more or less
the same file size.
• Only the JPEG copy is displayed during playback. If
only one memory card was inserted in the camera
when the photos were recorded, the NEF (RAW)
copies can only be viewed using a computer.
• If the photo was recorded with only one memory
card inserted or with [
Overflow ] or [ Backup ]
selected for [ Role played by card in Slot 2 ] and
two memory cards inserted, deleting the JPEG
copy on the camera will also delete the NEF (RAW)
picture.
