Using the Menus: Shooting Mode

TIMAGE QUALITY

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 images, while NORMAL and NORMAL+RAW use higher JPEG compression ratios to increase the number of images that can be stored.

UDYNAMIC RANGE

Control contrast. Choose lower values to increase contrast when shooting indoors or under overcast skies, higher values to reduce loss of detail in highlights and shadows when photographing high-contrast scenes. Higher values are recommended for scenes that include both sunlight and deep shade, for such high-contrast subjects as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn leaves, and portraits taken against a blue sky, and for white objects or people wearing white; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at higher values.

RIf AUTO is selected, shutter speed and aperture will be displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. R W200% is available at sensitivities of ISO 400 and above, X400% at sensitivities of ISO 800 and above.
