The recording file format can be switched to the RAW format before shooting the image.

When shooting in the RAW format, you can obtain images of the same high quality as those in uncompressed files.

If the RAW format is selected when the compression is set to (Normal), the resolution for each image will be fixed at 3072 x 2304 (PowerShot S70), or 2592 x 1944 (PowerShot S60).

ŠIt is possible to select the resolution for JPEG thumbnails contained within RAW format image files. This is useful when displaying enlarged RAW-format images with the camera, or when checking either the focus or for camera shake (p. 67).

ŠImages shot in the JPEG format can also be changed to the RAW format while they are displayed right after shooting (p. 34).
