This command sets the compression rate for images. The options include
JPEG and RAW. JPEG format compresses the data and creates a processed
result, with some original data lost in the process. RAW format saves all
the original picture data, without any compression, and will give you
more flexibility when you conduct your own post-processing.
When MENU/SET>REC>(
