Image size
The number of pixels (horizontal × vertical) used when saving an image. If the image
will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the
image will be clearer.
Compression
In record modes other than TIFF, image data are compressed. The higher the
compression, the less clear the image will be.

Raw data
This is unprocessed data which has not been subjected to color conversion or white
balance, sharpness and contrast adjustment. Use the OLYMPUS Master software
to display the data as pictures on a computer. Plug-in software (available from the
Olympus website) can also be used to view the data using Photoshop. Raw data
cannot be displayed using ordinary software, and print reservations cannot be made.
Pictures taken with the record mode set to raw data can be edited with this camera.

printed at a photo lab without losing the image
borders.
