3Setting the Image-recording Quality

About 1

1 is the raw data before it is made into a 73 or other images. Although 1 images require software like Digital Photo Professional (provided) so they can be displayed on the computer, they also offer flexibility for image adjustments possible only with 1. 1is effective when you want to precisely create your own art or shoot an important subject.

For example, with a 1 image, 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 (explained in Chapter 4), you can change the white balance without degrading the image quality.

Note that 1 images will not work with direct printing or print ordering (DPOF).

About 1+73

1+73 records both a 1 and 73 image 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 1 image’s extension is “CR2,” and the 73 image’s extension is “JPG.”
