JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10– 1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.
MPEG4
A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.
