JPEG)

A RAW image and a JPEG image are created at the same

 

 

time. This is suitable when you need two image files, a JPEG

 

 

for viewing, and a RAW for editing. The image quality is

 

 

fixed to [Fine] and the image size is fixed to [L].

 

 

 

 

(Fine)

File format: JPEG

 

 

 

The image is compressed in the JPEG format when recorded.

The higher the compression rate, the smaller the file size.

 

 

 

 

This will allow more files to be recorded in one memory card,

 

 

but the image quality will be lower.
