IMAGE QUALITY [FINE]
IMAGE QUALITY [FINE]
Choose a file format and compression ratio. Se-
lect FINE or NORMAL to record JPEG images,
RAW to record RAW images, or FINE+RAW or
NORMAL+RAW to record both JPEG and RAW
images. FINE and FINE+RAW use lower JPEG
compression ratios for higher-quality JPEG im-
ages, while NORMAL and NORMAL+RAW use
higher JPEG compression ratios to increase the
number of images that can be stored.

RAW pictures are unprocessed data read from the im-
age sensor. To convert RAW files for display on a com-
puter, use the supplied RAW File Converter software.

Crop, resize, and red-eye removal options are not avail-
able with RAW images during playback. The maximum
available playback zoom ratio is restricted.

DYNAMIC RANGE [AUTO]
DYNAMIC RANGE [AUTO]
Control contrast. Higher values are recommend-
ed for scenes that include both sunlight and deep
shade or for increased contrast with such subjects
as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn leaves,
portraits taken against a blue sky, and white ob-
jects or people wearing white; note, however, that
mottling may appear in pictures taken at higher
values. If AUTO is selected, the camera will auto-
matically select values between 100% and 400%
in response to shooting conditions.
