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.

GFine (Low compression):

This type gives priority to picture quality. Picture quality will be high.

HStandard (High compression): This type gives priority to the number of recordable pictures and records standard quality pictures.

RAW RAW (Uncompressed):

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

•When the quality is set to [TIFF] or [RAW], a JPEG picture with the quality equal to the Standard [H] is created at the same time. The JPEG file is also erased if you erase the associated TIFF/RAW file.

•The maximum resolution (P72) for each aspect ratio is fixed if you select [RAW].

•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.

•The number of recordable pictures depends on the subject.

•The number of remaining pictures may not correspond with recorded frames.

•The following functions cannot be used for pictures recorded in [TIFF] or [RAW].
