A RAW image is image data (file name extension .DNG) that is unprocessed
internally by the camera. Since there is no image deterioration, RAW files provide
more creative freedom when used with software that supports general-purpose
DNG format files.
• The initial factory default image size setting is “12M”.
• Selecting “3:2” records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the
standard aspect ratio of print paper.
• RAW image data is stored in a camera folder named “RAW” (page 182).
• The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has an
aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of
television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible
with the aspect ratio an HDTV screen.
• You should regard the print paper sizes suggested here as guidelines only (200 dpi
print resolution).
