RAW & JPEG:
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 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.
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.
