File format: RAW (raw data) + JPEG
When the shutter button is pressed, a RAW image and a JPEG
image are created at the same time. This is suitable when you
need two image files, a JPEG for viewing, and a RAW for
editing. The size of the JPEG image is fixed to [L:10M] and
the image quality is fixed to [Fine].
Fine (FINE)
File format: JPEG
The image is compressed in the JPEG format when recorded.
The higher the compression rate, the smaller the file size.
This will allow more files to be recorded in one recording
medium, but the image quality will be lower.
Once the image quality is lowered, it cannot be restored on a
computer afterwards. If you plan to process or edit the image
file later, consider the image quality carefully when selecting
the setting.
