Changing the Image Type
This camera records images as either JPEG images or RAW images.
JPEG image (
When pictures are taken as JPEG images, the images are processed
inside the camera for optimum image quality, and also compressed to
allow a larger number of images to be stored on the memory card.
However, the compression process is irreversible, meaning that the
original image data cannot be recovered once it has been compressed.
See Changing the Recording Pixels (Still Images) and Changing the
Compression (Still Images) (pp. 80, 81).
RAW image (
RAW data is the data output by the imaging element and converted to
digital data which is recorded as is. This results in images with almost
no deterioration in image quality and a higher quality than JPEG
images. Using the supplied software (Digital Photo Professional), you
can broadly adjust images without deterioration in image quality. Using
the software's image processing functions, you can take the adjusted
image data and convert it a JPEG, TIFF or other type of image in line
with your intended use.
You cannot use direct print or make print (DPOF) settings with images
taken with
, however.
When downloading RAW images and simultaneously recorded
JPEG images, be sure to use the supplied software.
