size.

image size, will be printed with
deteriorated picture quality.

When you shoot an image in the RAW file
format, a highly-compressed JPEG file
may be also recorded. As the printer does
not support the RAW file format, it may
use the JPEG file to print an image. A
RAW file can be printed from a PC. For
details, see the operating instructions of
the digital camera you are using.

format to save uncompressed,
