modes combine image size (Y, X, and W) and compression ratio (SF, F, and N).

the [K Set] (P. 135) settings in Custom Menu.
RAW image data
RAW images consist of unprocessed image data to which settings such as exposure
compensation and white balance have yet to be applied. They serve as raw data for
images that will be processed after shooting. RAW image files:
- Have the extension ".orf"
- Cannot be viewed on other cameras
- Can be viewed on computers using Olympus Workspace photo editing software
- Can be saved in JPEG format using the [RAW Data Edit] (P. 126) retouch option in
the camera menus
