widely-used JPEG format. In the 1 mode, the captured image will
require post-processing with the software provided. The 1+73/
+83/+74/+84/+76/+86 (RAW+ JPEG) modes simultaneously
record the image in both RAW and JPEG formats. Note that in the Basic
Zone modes, the RAW and RAW+JPEG formats cannot be selected.
