Tips
The digital still camera saves recorded images as digital data. The format of the
saved data is called as the file format. The formats that can be used with this
camera are as follows:
JPEG format
Most digital still cameras, computer operating systems, and browser software
adopt this format. This format is able to compress files without appreciable
deterioration. However, if the image is compressed and saved on repeated
occasions, the image quality will deteriorate. This camera records still images
using the JPEG format for normal recording.
GIF format
Using this format, the image quality will not deteriorate even if the image is
compressed and saved on repeated occasions. This format limits the number of
colors to 256 colors. This camera records still images using the GIF format in
Clip Motion (page 59) or TEXT mode (page 57).
TIFF format
Stores shot images without compression, so the image quality does not
deteriorate. Most operating systems and applications support this format. This
camera records still images using the TIFF format for the TIFF mode (page 58).
MPEG format
This format is very typical for moving images. This camera records audio using
the MPEG format for the moving image recordings and the VOICE mode
(page 56).
