Kodak 6B8773 manual File Types, Choosing the File Type to be Written to a Card

Setting up Cards, Folders, and Files

File Types	Your camera can save images as Raw or JPEG files.
	Raw (.dcr) files can be opened by KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Photo
	Desk. Raw images can be thought of as "digital negatives." They preserve all
	image information so you can apply the DCS-specific image enhancements
	available in DCS Photo Desk.
	JPEG (.jpg) files are smaller and can be opened directly by any image
	editing software. You can choose ERI (Extended Range Imaging) JPEG or
	Standard JPEG.
	NOTE: Repeated saves of any JPEG image can degrade image quality.
	NOTE: No more than 2000 files, including hidden system files, can be
	stored on memory cards inside the camera.

Choosing the File Type to be Written to a Card

When you use one memory card, you can specify that captured images are saved to the card as Raw, JPEG, or Raw+JPEG. (With Raw+JPEG, both file types are written to the card.)

When you use two cards, you can specify that one card is standby or that captured images are saved to both cards as Raw, JPEG, or Raw+JPEG. When one card is set to standby, no images are written to that card until the other card is full. When the other card is full, subsequently captured images are written to the standby card using the same file type. When neither card is standby, captured images are written to both cards. (You can write different file types to two cards, for example, Raw to one card and JPEG to the other.) You can also choose the JPEG file type.

The following table provides examples of some ways to set up file types:

	CF Card	SD/MMC Card
No redundancy	JPEG	Standby
	Raw	Standby
Multi-purpose redundancy	Raw	JPEG
Complete redundancy	Raw	Raw
	Raw+JPEG	Raw+JPEG
