size (approx. 6.30 megapixels).
Medium For A5 to A4-size prints. Records a medium-size image
(approx. 2.80 megapixels).
Small For A5-size (210 x 148 mm) or smaller prints. Records a
small image size (approx. 1.60 megapixels).

• 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 <M> (Fine) and <J|> (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.
