Records JPEG images. JPEG images are processed in the camera for optimal
image quality and compressed to reduce file size. However, the compression
process is irreversible, and images cannot be restored to their original,
unprocessed state. Image processing may also cause some loss of image
quality.
Records RAW images. RAW images are “raw” (unprocessed) data, recorded with
essentially no loss of image quality from the camera’s image processing. The
data cannot be used in this state for viewing on a computer or printing. You must
first use the software (Digital Photo Professional) to convert images to ordinary

JPEG or TIFF files. Images can be adjusted with minimal loss of image quality.

For details on resolution and the number of shots that will fit on a card, see

).

Records two images, both a RAW image and a JPEG image, for each shot.
The JPEG image can be viewed on a computer or printed without using the
software.
