Menu item details

Uncompressed:

Records images in uncompressed RAW format. When [Uncompressed] is selected for [RAW File Type], the file size of the image will be larger than if it were recorded in lossless compressed RAW format or compressed RAW format.

Lossless Comp (L)/Lossless Comp (M)/Lossless Comp (S) ^*:

Records images with a lossless compression method that causes no deterioration^** in image quality and has a high compression rate. The file size is smaller than when [Uncompressed] is selected.

• You can select L/M/S as the image size. The number of pixels after development using a Sony application is the same as the L/M/S size for JPEG/HEIF images.
• The L size can be selected only when shooting in full frame. When shooting in the M or S size, the pixel number does not change for full-frame shooting or APS-C-size shooting.

^*When the camera’s system software (firmware) version is Ver.1.10 or later

^**The M size and S size reduce the image size, so the image resolution will be lower than that of the L size.

Compressed:

Records images in compressed RAW format. The file size of the image will be approximately half of that with [Uncompressed].
