RAW
Choosing RAW „Quality“, the image is always
recorded at the maximum resolution (full image
size). The RAW format saves the image data before
the actual calculations of colour, contrast, and
sharpness of the camera software start. Those
calculations have to be done afterwards on the
computer, using imaging software like the DiMAGE
Master Lite, or the optional DiMAGE Master. The
RAW format enables best image quality, but needs
some post-processing on the computer. Image
files recorded in RAW format can be very large
(approx. 8.8 MB); therefore it takes more time to
save them on the memory card.
EXTRA FINE, FINE, STANDARD
Choosing “Extra Fine”, “Fine”, or “Standard” under
the topic „Quality“, means, that images are saved
in JPEG format. In contrast to RAW, images are
compressed in JPEG format. The image size
remains the same, but the image file occupies less
space on the memory card. You can imagine
compressing an image as folding it, so that it
creases and the quality decreases.
As soon as the image is unfolded, it has its original
file size again.
„Extra Fine“, „Fine“, „Standard“ indicate how much
an image becomes folded (how much it is
compressed). The more an image is compressed,
the more image details get lost. Shooting objects
with a very fine structure, it is recommended to
use a low compression rate.
TIP: With most objects the setting “Standard”
is absolutely sufficient. The setting “Fine” or
“Extra Fine” should be used when subject
structures are very detailed.
