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, operating systems of computers, 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 will deteriorate. This camera records still images
using the JPEG format for normal recording.
GIF format
Using this format, the image will not deteriorate even if the image is compressed
and saved on repeated occasions. This format limits the number of colors used
to 256 colors. This camera records still images using the GIF format in Clip
Motion (page 59) or TEXT mode (page 62).
TIFF format
Stores shooting images without compression, so the image does not deteriorate.
Most of operating systems and applications correspond to this format. This
camera records still images using the TIFF format for the TIFF mode (page 63).
MPEG format
This format is very typical for moving images. This camera records moving
images in the MPEG format during the recording.
