¡ÜA RAW file contains the original image information. To edit this file format, you have to
use supplied software to edit it.
¡ÜThe RAW and TIFF file format are for advanced users and provides the best quality.
However, large file size reduces number of available pictures to take and increases
saving time to the memory card.
¡Ü
A [Processing!] message is displayed while saving a RAW or TIFF file to the memory card.
¡ÜWhen you select a RAW or TIFF file type, the image size is fixed as 3264X2448 (        ).
¡ÜThe RAW and TIFF file format can’t be selected in the SCENE mode.
¡ÜThis file format complies with the DCF (Design rule for Camera File system).
¡ÜJPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) : JPEG is the image compression standard
developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most
commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files
efficiently.
¡ÜA movie clip can be recorded for as long as the available recording time of the memory
capacity allows. (A movie clip sets as 640X480 movie size and 25fps frame rate can be
taken up to 30 seconds.)
