Saving Images

The displayed images may be saved on the hard disk in a variety of formats.
Image Formats
The images displayed on the image panel may be saved in the following formats.
BMP The BMP format is supported as standard in Windows®. Image files saved in
this format may be viewed with software such as Microsoft Paint (supplied
with the Windows® operating system) without any special image processing
software.
EXIF (EXIF 2.0) An abbreviation of Exchangeable Image file Format. Images taken with the
Dimâge EX are recorded in the compact flash card in this format. EXIF 2.0 is
a development of EXIF 1.0 (which supports JPEG compression, simple
structure, recording of supplementary information), which supports new
information tags such as recording of audio information during photography,
and photographic information. It also permits simple conversion of colour
information and additional information quickly, without image deterioration,
and without dropout).
JPEG An abbreviation of Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is an
international standard for compression and expansion of static images and is
independent of platform (as is the TIFF format described below), while
providing for a greater compression ratio, and thus a wider range of
application.
PICT This format is widely used in Macintosh applications, and has become the
de-facto image format for the Macintosh. Image files saved in this format may
be viewed with software such as SimpleText (supplied with the Macintosh
operating system) without any special image processing software.
