The File naming option is used to select three letters to replace the “DSC” portion of the file name. For information on editing file names, see page 137. Note that the portion of the name that can be edited is a maximum of three characters long. File NamingG button ➜Cshooting menu AExtensions The following extensions are used: “.NEF” fo r NEF (RAW ) images, “.JPG” for JPEG images, “.MOV” for movies, and “.NDF” for dust off reference data. In each pair of photographs recorded at image-quality settings of NEF (RAW )+JPEG, the NEF and JPEG images have the same file names but different extensions.
205 U Select On to reduce barrel distortion when shooting with wide- angle lenses and to reduce pin-cushion distortion when shooting with long lenses (note that the edges of the area visible in the viewfinder may be cropped out of the final photograph, and that the time needed to process photographs before recording begins may increase). This option is recommended only with type G an d D lenses (PC, fisheye, and certain other lenses excluded); results are not guaranteed with other lenses. If On is selected, photographs taken at shutter speeds slower than 8 s will be processed to reduce noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels or fog), increasing the time required to record images by roughly 1.5 to 2 times. During processing, “ lm” will blink in the shutter speed/aperture displays and pictures can not be taken (if the camera is turned off before processing is complete, the picture will be saved but noise reduction will not be performed). In continuous release mode, frame rates will slow and while photographs are being processed, the capacity of the memory buffer will drop. Photographs taken at high ISO sensitivities can be processed to reduce “noise.” Auto Distortion ControlG button ➜Cshooting menu ARetouch: Distortion Control For information on creating copies of existing photographs with reduced barrel and pin- cushion distortion, see page 261.
