Image-Recording Quality

Processing

Processing is the alteration of the raw image data captured with the camera’s CMOS image sensor. For example, the digital image’s white balance and image quality can be altered. Images recorded in the < > < > < > < > < > or < > mode undergo process-

ing by the camera before being saved as a JPEG image. < > images are processed according to the white balance and processing parameters set at the time of shooting. A

< > image can be processed repeatedly using the provided software.

Image File Size and CF Card Capacity According to Image- Recording Quality

Image-Recording		Image Size	Format	Compression	Image File Size	Max. Capacity
Quality		(Pixels)		Rate	(Approx.)	(Approx.)
Large/Fine		3072 x 2048		Low	2.4 MB	50 images
Large/Normal		(Approx. 6.3 million)		High	1.2 MB	103 images
Medium/Fine		2048 x 1360	JPEG	Low	1.3 MB	95 images
Medium/Normal		(Approx. 2.8 million)		High	0.7 MB	184 images
Small/Fine		1536 x 1024		Low	0.8 MB	145 images

•The image-recording quality (except < >) can also be set in the Basic Zone modes.

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

•The maximum capacity applies to a 128 MB CF card.

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

•On the LCD panel, you can check how many more images the CF card can record.

•In the < > mode, a JPEG image is also recorded simultaneously and embedded within the RAW image.

•The image-recording quality will be memorized in Basic Zone mode and Creative Zone mode respectively.

To open RAW images with a personal computer or to extract the JPEG image embed- ded in the RAW image file, you must use the dedicated software. For details, see “EOS 10D Software Instructions.”

•With C.Fn-08, the image-recording quality of the JPEG image recorded simulta- neously within the RAW image file can be changed. (→p.148)

•With C.Fn-01-1, you can set the [Quality] by pressing < > and turning the < > dial. (→p.146)
