Changing the File Format
The recording file format can be switched to
the RAW format before shooting the image.
When shooting in the RAW format, you can
obtain images of the same high quality as
those in uncompressed files.
If the RAW format is selected when the
compression is set to
(Normal), the
resolution for each image will be fixed at 3072 x
2304 (PowerShot S70), or 2592 x 1944
(PowerShot S60).
Š See RAW Format (p. 161).
Š It is possible to select the resolution for JPEG
thumbnails contained within RAW format
image files. This is useful when displaying
enlarged RAW-format images with the camera,
or when checking either the focus or for
camera shake (p. 67).
Š Images shot in the JPEG format can also be
changed to the RAW format while they are
displayed right after shooting (p. 34).
