I can't be the only one here who uses 14 bit raw with lossless compreesion.
Nikon accurately estimates size of these files as 41MB, down from the 74MB of the uncompressed version.
But on page 436 of the manual, they say, oddly, that you can fit the same number of compressed files as uncompressed on an 8gb card: 103 images. My version of the math says the answer should be more like 185.
So what, a typo. But my camera's firmware makes the same mistake! I put in a 16GB card and the camera estimates I have room for 200 exposures. There's actually room for close to 400. As I fill up the card, the estimates stay weird ... the camera knows exactly how much space is left, but keeps basing its estimate on the assumption that my files will be 74mb.
Anyone else noticed this? Hard to believe this made it past the first round of firmware tweaks.
How do you report something like this to Nikon? Or does that question just inspire laughter?
