Tips
The digital still camera saves recorded images as digital data. The format of the
saved data is called as the file format. The formats that can be used with this
camera are as follows:
JPEG format
Most digital still cameras, operating systems of computers, and browser software
adopt this format. This format is able to compress files without appreciable
deterioration. However, if the image is compressed and saved on repeated
occasions, the image will deteriorate. This camera records still images using the
JPEG format for normal recording.
GIF format
Using this format, the image will not deteriorate even if the image is compressed
and saved on repeated occasions. This format limits the number of colors to 256
colors. This camera records still images using the GIF format in Clip Motion
(page 47) or TEXT mode (page 51).
TIFF format
Stores shooting images without compression, sothe image does not deteriorate.
Mostof operating systemsand applicationscorrespond tothisformat. Thiscamera
records still images using the TIFF format for the TIFF mode (page 52).
MPEG format
This format is very typical for moving images. This camera records audio using
the MPEG format for the moving images recording and the VOICE mode
(page 50).
