Various Shooting Functions Movies Image Size Movie Size 640 × 480 640 320 × 240 320 • You can also choose the number of frames for movies. (GP.152) Note • The number of images that can be stored in the internal memory or SD memory card 1 depends on the [Pic Quality/Size] setting. (GP.248) • There are three picture quality modes: Normal mode (N), Fine mode (F), and RAW mode. Normal mode: The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally, Fine mode: shooting is done in this mode. The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the RAW mode: picture quality is better than in Normal. The raw image data is saved as a RAW format file (.DNG file). A JPEG file is also recorded at the same time. This allows you to use image editing software to edit the image while retaining the high quality at the time the image was shot. Shooting with RAW mode Normally, a shot image is processed and compressed by the camera and then saved as a small JPEG file. When shooting in RAW mode, shot images are not processed by the camera. The raw data loaded from the camera's sensor is stored in the DNG file created when shooting in RAW mode. A DNG file is a raw image format designed by Adobe Systems. You can use image editing software compatible with the DNG file format to edit the near-original image data on a computer. You can use the provided Irodio Photo & Video Studio to perform simple editing of DNG files on Windows. However, you cannot use the Irodio Photo & Video Studio to edit DNG files on a Macintosh. Use a commercially-available software that can edit DNG files. When shooting in RAW mode, note the following: • RAW mode cannot be used with certain shooting functions. Please see the restrictions listed for individual functions. • No date is added to the DNG file even if [Date Imprint] is set. The date is added to the JPEG file recorded at the same time as the DNG file. • [Image Settings] settings on the shooting menu apply only to the JPEG file recorded at the same time. • You can use [RAW/JPEG Setting] on the setup menu to change the picture quality and image size of the JPEG recorded at the same time.
