need 2 image files, a JPEG for viewing, and a RAW for editing.
The JPEG image quality is set to [Fine].
Extra fine:
File format: JPEG
The image is compressed in the JPEG format and recorded using a higher quality than with
[Fine].
Fine:
File format: JPEG
The image is compressed in the JPEG format when recorded.
Standard:
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.
About RAW images
To open a RAW image file recorded with this camera, the software Image Data Converter
is needed. With Image Data Converter, you can open a RAW image file, then convert it
into a popular image format such as JPEG or TIFF, or readjust the white balance,
saturation or contrast of the image.
You cannot apply [Auto HDR] or [Picture Effect] functions with RAW images.
RAW images recorded with this camera have a resolution of 14 bits per pixel. However,
resolution is limited to 12 bits in the following shooting modes:
[
Long Exposure NR]
[BULB]
Continuous shooting (including continuous shooting in [Superior Auto] mode.)
[
Silent Shooting]
Note
If you do not intend to edit the images on your computer, we recommend that you record
in JPEG format.
You cannot add DPOF (print order) registration marks to RAW images.
