Tips

 

The digital still camera saves recorded images as digital data. The format of the

saved data is called as the file format. The formats that can be used with this
camera are as follows:

Playback

JPEG format

Most digital still cameras, operating systems of computers, and browser software adopt this format. This format is able to compress files without appreciable deterioration. However, if the image is compressed and saved on repeated occasions, the image will deteriorate. This camera records still image using the JPEG format for normal recording.

GIF format

Using this format, the image will not deteriorate even if the image is compressed and saved on repeated occasions. This format limits the number of colors used to 256 colors. This camera records still images using the GIF format in Clip Motion (page 59) or TEXT mode (page 62).

TIFF format

Stores shooting images without compression, so the image does not deteriora Most of operating systems and applications correspond to this format. This camera records still images using the TIFF format for the TIFF mode (page 63).

MPEG format

This format is very typical for moving images. This camera records moving images in the MPEG format during the recording.
