The 73/83/74/84/76/86 modes record the image in the
widely-used JPEG. 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 images to the CF card with a
single shot. Note that in the Basic Zone modes, RAW or RAW+JPEG
cannot be set.
