Shooting tips and information Selecting the optimal record mode 10 Record modes are divided into 3 main types: RAW, TIFF and JPEG. RAW records without reflecting the settings for exposure compensation, white balance, etc. on the images themselves. TIFF or JPEG records as images that reflect these settings. JPEG also compresses images to reduce the file size when recording them. JPEG is divided into "SHQ", "HQ" and "SQ" types based on the image size (pixel count) or compression rate. The higher the compression rate, the grainier the image will appear when enlarged during display. A rough guide for selection is shown below. Make fine-adjustments of the shooting settings on the computer • [RAW] Concern over roughness as the picture is printed in large size • [TIFF] To print large images on full-size paper/To edit and process images on a computer • [SHQ][HQ] with a large pixel count To print postcard-size images • [SQ] with a large pixel count To send as an e-mail attachment or post on a web site • [SQ] with a small pixel count g"List of record modes" (P. 173) To restore functions to their settings at the time of purchase • The settings are saved even when the power is switched off.
