image quality and compressed to reduce file size. However, the compression

unprocessed state. Image processing may also cause some loss of image
quality.
Records RAW images. RAW images are “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 use the software (Digital Photo Professional) to convert images to ordinary

JPEG or TIFF files. Images can be adjusted with minimal loss of image quality.

recorded together) to a computer, always use the dedicated
