Using the Menus: Shooting Mode

TIMAGE QUALITY[FINE]

Choose a file format and compression ratio. Select FINE or NORMAL to record JPEG images, RAW to record RAW images, or FINE+RAW or NORMAL+RAW to record both JPEG and RAW images. FINE and FINE+RAW use lower JPEG compression ratios for higher-quality JPEG im- ages, while NORMAL and NORMAL+RAW use higher JPEG compression ratios to increase the number of images that can be stored.

RAW pictures are unprocessed data read from the image sensor. To convert RAW files for display on a com- puter, use the supplied RAW File Converter software.

Crop, resize, and red-eye removal options are not available with RAW images during playback. The maximum available playback zoom ratio is restricted.

UDYNAMIC RANGE

[AUTO]

Control contrast. Higher values are recommended for scenes that include both sunlight and deep shade or for increased contrast with such subjects as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn leaves, portraits taken against a blue sky, and white objects or people wearing white; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at higher values. If AUTO is selected, the camera will automatically select values between 100% and 400% in response to shooting conditions.
