Quality

Selects the image quality for still images.

MENU 1 [Quality] desired mode

	(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 two image files, a JPEG for viewing, and a RAW for editing. The JPEG image quality is fixed to [Fine].
	(Fine)	File format: JPEG The image is compressed in the JPEG format when recorded. Since the compression rate for [Standard] is higher than that for [Fine], the file size of [Standard] is smaller than that of [Fine]. This allows more files to be recorded on one memory card, but the image quality will be lower.
	(Standard)
