Table of contents Sample photo Menu Quality Selects the compression format of still images. 1 MENU t [Image Size] t [Quality] t desired mode. RAW (RAW) RAW+J (RAW & JPEG) FINE (Fine) STD (Standard) File format: RAW (Records using the RAW compression format.) Digital processing is not performed on this file format. Select this format to process images on a computer for professional purposes. • The image size is fixed to the maximum size. The image size is not displayed on the LCD screen. File format: RAW (Records using the RAW compression format.) + JPEG A RAW image and a JPEG image are created at the same time. This is suitable when you need 2 image files, a JPEG for viewing, and a RAW for editing. • The image quality is fixed to [Fine], and the image size is fixed to [L]. File format: JPEG The image is compressed in the JPEG format when recorded. Since the compression rate of [Standard] is higher than that of [Fine], the file size of [Standard] is smaller than that of [Fine]. This will allow more files to be recorded on 1 memory card, but the image quality will be lower. • When images are not going to be modified using your computer, we recommend that you select [Fine] or [Standard]. Notes • You cannot set this item when shooting in [Sweep Panorama] mode. • You cannot add DPOF (print order) registration to RAW format images. • You cannot use [Auto HDR] with [RAW] and [RAW & JPEG] images. z RAW images A RAW format file is raw data that has not been through any kind of digital processing. RAW files are different from more general file formats such as JPEG files, and contain raw material to be processed for professional purposes. You need the "Image Data Converter" in order to open a RAW image recorded on this camera. With this software, a RAW image can be opened and converted to a common format, such as JPEG or TIFF, and you can readjust its white balance, color saturation, contrast, etc. Index 82GB
