MENU Image-Recording Quality

Processing

Processing is the alteration of the raw image data captured with the camera’s CMOS imaging element. For example, the digital image’s white balance and image quality can be altered.

Images recorded in the <>, <>, or <> mode undergo processing by the camera

before being saved as a JPEG image. <> images are processed according to the color

matrix, white balance and processing parameters set at the time of shooting. A <> image can be processed repeatedly using the provided software.

•The maximum capacity applies to a 128 MB CF card (optional FC-128M).

•The image file size and CF card’s maximum capacity are based on Canon’s testing standards (with ISO 100 and "Standard" processing parameter).

•The image file size and the CF card’s maximum capacity depend on the processing parameter, subject, shooting mode, and ISO speed.

•The CF card’s number of remaining shots is displayed on the top LCD panel. (→p.27)

•In the + , , and mode, you can record the image in both the RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously. (→p.40)

Images for Settings

•To open images recorded in the RAW format, you must use the dedicated driver software that came with the camera. For details, see “EOS DIGITAL Software User’s Manual.”

•With higher ISO speeds (→p.49), the image will contain more noise and the file size will be larger. Therefore, fewer images can be recorded on the CF card. On

the top LCD panel, you can check the number of images the CF card can record. (→p.27)
