Image quality controls the file type and rate of compression. TIFF and RAW are high-
quality image files. The extra fine, fine, and standard settings produce JPEG files at
various rates of compression. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of
compression and the larger the file sizes. If economical use of the memory card is
important, use the standard mode. The RAW & JPEG option creates two image files at
one time, a 3264 X 2448 RAW file and a fine quality JPEG file with an image size
selected with the menu. The image files are saved with the same file name, but with
different extensions (p. 152). It can require more than 10 seconds to save RAW or TIFF
files; the frame counter turns yellow and no images can be captured during this period.
Only full-size images can be taken with RAW image quality. RAW images require special
processing before they can be used, refer to the DiMAGE Viewer software manual. Some
camera functions cannot be used with the RAW image-quality setting. See page 84 for
more information.

Image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The
greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image
size based on the final use of the image - smaller images are
more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes produce
higher quality prints. The 3264 X 2176 option uses a 3:2
image ratio then the usual ratio of 4:3. When this is selected,
the top and bottom of the monitor image is masked.
