IPEG
JPEG)
A RAW image and a IPEG image are created at the same
time. This is suitable when you need two image files, a IPEG
for viewing, and a RAW for editing.
• The image quality is fixed to [Fine] and the image size is
fixed to [L].
FINE
(Fine)
File format: JPEG
STO
(Standard)
The image is compressed in the IPEG format when recorded.
Since the compression rate of
STO
(Standard) is higher than
that of
FINE
(Fine), the file size of
STO
is smaller than that
of
FINE.
This will allow more files to be recorded on one
memory card, but the image quality will be lower.
Note
• For details on the number of images that can be taken when the image quality is
changed, see page 27.
About RAW images
You need the "Image Data Converter SR" software included on the CD-ROM
(supplied) in order to open a RAW image recorded on this camera. With this software,
a RAW image can be opened and converted to a common format, such as IPEG or
TIFF, and its white balance, color saturation, contrast, etc., can be readjusted.
• The RAW format image cannot be printed using a DPOF (print) designated printer
or a PictBridge compliant printer.
• You cannot verify the effects of D-Range Optimizer other than those of
mil
(Standard) if you play back and enlarge an image recorded in RAW format.
