67Frame Advance RateThe frame rate for continuous shooting (low and high speed)varies with the option chosen for image area (0 73) and, whenan NEF (RAW) image quality option is selected, the NEF (RAW) bitdepth (0 80). The table below gives the approximate framerates for a fully-charged EN-EL15 battery, continuous-servo AF,manual or shutter-priority auto exposure, a shutter speed of1/250 s or faster, and the remaining settings at default values.Frame rates may drop at extremely small apertures (high f-numbers) or slow shutter speeds, when vibration reduction(available with VR lenses) or auto ISO sensitivity control (0 102)is on, or when the battery is low, a non-CPU lens is attached, orAperture ring is selected for Custom Setting f5 (Customizecommand dials) > Aperture setting (0 285). The maximumframe rate in live view is 3.7 fps.Image area Image quality Approximate frame advance rateC L C HDX (24×16) JPEG/12-bit NEF (RAW) 1–6 fps 6 fps14-bit NEF (RAW) 1–5 fps 5 fps1.3× (18×12) JPEG/12-bit NEF (RAW) 1–6 fps 7 fps14-bit NEF (RAW) 6 fps
