You can select 4 types of quality (compression rate) according to the usage of the picture.

TIFF TIFF (Uncompressed):

This type is suitable when editing and processing pictures with retouch software.

RAW RAW (Uncompressed):

This type is suitable when editing and processing pictures with a computer.

•You cannot use the digital zoom if you have selected [RAW].

•Pictures may have a mosaic-like appearance depending on the subject or the recording condition.
