The camera can capture images in JPEG and RAW format.
JPEG Images | 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. |
---|---|
RAW Images | "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 process images on the camera or use the software (Digital Photo Professional) to convert images to JPEG or TIFF files. Images can be adjusted with minimal loss of image quality. |
