Various Shooting Functions

Note ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The number of images that can be stored in the internal memory or SD memory card
depends on the [PIC QUALITY/SIZE] setting. (GP.197)
• There are three picture quality modes: Normal mode (N), Fine mode (F), and RAW
mode.
Normal mode: The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally,
shooting is done in this mode.
Fine mode: The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the
picture quality is better than in Normal mode.
RAW mode: The raw image data is saved as a RAW format file (.DNG file).
A JPEG file is also recorded at the same time. This allows you
to use image editing software to edit the image while retaining
the high quality at the time the image was shot.
Shooting with RAW mode ----------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, a shot image is processed and compressed by the camera and then saved as
a small JPEG file. To make a JPEG file small, the image data is compressed and the
image quality is lowered.
When shooting in RAW mode, shot images are not processed by the camera. The raw
data loaded from the camera’s sensor is stored in the DNG file created when shooting in
RAW mode. A DNG file is a raw image format designed by Adobe Systems. You can use
image editing software compatible with the DNG file format to edit the near-original
image data on a computer. You can use the provided Irodio Photo & Video Studio to edit
DNG files on Windows. However, you cannot use the Irodio Photo & Video Studio to edit
DNG files on a Macintosh. Use a commercially-available software that can edit DNG
files.
When shooting in RAW mode, note the following:
• You cannot use CONT. MODE, AUTO BRACKET, DIGITAL ZOOM, or IMAGE WITH
SOUND in RAW mode.
• No date is added to the DNG file even if [DATE IMPRINT] is set. The date is added to
the JPEG file recorded at the same time as the DNG file.
• [IMG SET] settings on the Shooting menu apply only to the JPEG file recorded at the
same time.
• You can use [RAW/JPEG SETTING] on the SETUP menu to change the picture
quality and image size of the JPEG recorded at the same time. (GP.152)
