• This format assumes that the image will be processed by a
personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use
the bundled software to obtain the desired effect.
• RAW images cannot be printed directly from the camera.
The (Fine) and (Normal) icons indicate the image’s compression
rate. For better image quality, select <^> for low compression. To save space
so you can record more images, select higher compression < j|>.
Processing is the adjustment (such as the white balance and contrast) of the
image from the RAW data.
