The image area comes in 3 sizes: (L) 6,000 x 4,000, (M) 4,496 x 3,000, and (S) 2,992 x 2,000. The bigger the image area you choose the more pixels used and thus better image produced. I believe (M) is the default option and pictures look fine on that. If you plan to print pictures on a bigger canvas, however, a lower pixel count might create pixelated images. JPEG and RAW are how the camera saves your pictures. RAW files require a special program on your computer to read the image, but the end result is a clearer picture more reminiscent of the actual object photographed. A JPEG is a "compressed" file of your picture on your memory card. More compressed = less quality in the end.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The default image size for the Nikon D3400 DSLR camera is Large (6000X4000) and the default file type is JPEG normal (approximately 1:8) compression. The RAW option on this camera model is 12 bits compressed. NEF (RAW) is an image format that contains all the information captured by the camera's sensor, along with the image's metadata. This is helpful to photographers, as it is easier to edit and change this type of file than it is to change the information in a JPEG file.
