Using the Menus: Shooting Mode

TIMAGE QUALITY

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

UDYNAMIC RANGE

(default: V)

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.
