For example, with a 1image, you can use the provided software to create various versions of the same image having a different Picture Style. Also, if you took the picture with the wrong white balance (p.90), you can change the white balance without degrading the image quality. Note that 1images will not work with direct printing or print ordering (DPOF).

About 1+73

1+73records both a 1and 73image with a single shot. The two images are saved to the card. Since the 73image is recorded as a processed image, you can view it as is on a personal computer without the bundled software or print it as is. With 1+73, the two images are saved with the same file number in the same folder. You can distinguish between them with the image type or extension. The 1image’s extension is “CR2,” and the 73image’s extension is “JPG.”
