Menu item details
RAW:
File format: RAW (Records using the RAW compression format.)
Digital processing is not performed on this file format. Select this format to process images on a computer for professional purposes.
- The image size is fixed to the maximum size. The image size is not displayed on the screen.
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.
Extra fine:
File format: JPEG
The image is compressed in the JPEG format and recorded using a higher quality than with [Fine].
Fine (default setting):
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.
Note
- If images are not to be modified using your computer, we recommend that you record images in JPEG format.
- You cannot add DPOF (print order) registration to RAW format images.
