IMPORTANT!

Actual file size depends on the type of image you record. This means that the remaining image capacity noted on the monitor screen may not be exactly accurate (pages 30, 262).

It takes longer to store a TIFF (uncompressed) image than a JPEG (compressed) image.

When you record a TIFF image, a JPEG format FINE version of the same image is also stored. The FINE version is the one that appears on the camera’s monitor screen when you display the image in the PLAY mode.

A TIFF image cannot be resized (page 160), cropped (page 161), or copied (page 204). All of these operations must be performed on JPEG images.

You cannot transfer a TIFF image to a computer using the bundled Photo Loader application (page 241). Use the procedure under “Viewing Images on a Computer” (page 216) instead.
