Recording modes:
This function allows you to select the file format, e. g. JPEG and/or RAW, and in the
case of JPEG, the compression rate. [RAW] is especially suited for the subsequent
comprehensive editing of the image data using respective software such as Adobe
®
Photoshop
®
Lightroom
®
, which is available after registering your camera on the Leica
Camera AG homepage (→209). The JPEG setting [Fine] delivers higher image quality than
[Standard] due to its lower compression rate, while the latter has the advantage of smaller
files.
