Asterisk disclaimer in tech specs on Nikon web site

Has the * symbol in Nikon digital camera tech specs ever frustrate you?

I have been interested in the Nikon CoolPix 7600 for the past few days. Mostly, I'm interested in whether it supports TIFF or RAW format. So I looked up its specs on Nikon web site:

Image Size: High (3072*), Normal (3072), Normal (2592), Normal (2048), PC (1024), TV (640)
Number of Frames: (w/Internal memory): High (3072*) approx. 4, Normal (3072) approx. 7
Battery Life: 100 images (two AA-size alkaline batteries), 250 images (two EN-MH1 Rechargeable AA batteries), based on CIPA standard*

Obviously Nikon wants to tell us something by marking those specs with asterisk. But yet, it doesn't disclaim what the asterisk means . . . *ugh*

I owns a Coolpix 7600, and both in High (3072*) and Normal (3072) modes the output is a JPEG file. I think the differences between those modes is the applied lossy compression, i.e. the difference between the details lost and the file size.
