Troubleshooting
Symptom
The printed
pictures are
inferior in
quality.
Check
• Did you shoot an image in
the RAW file format?
• Did you use an
AdobeRGB-compliant
digital camera, not
compatible with the DCF
2.0, to shoot an image in
the AdobeRGB mode?
Cause/Solutions
c When you shoot an image in the RAW
file format, a highly-compressed JPEG
file may be also recorded. As the
printer does not support the RAW file
format, it may use the JPEG file to
print an image. A RAW file can be
printed from a PC. For details, see the
operating instructions of the digital
camera you are using.
What is a RAW file?
A RAW file is an original image file
format to save uncompressed,
unprocessed still image data captured
from a digital camera.
For whether or not a digital camera
can capture an image in the RAW file
format, see the operating instructions
of the digital camera.
c An AdobeRGB image file that
supports the DCF 2.0 will undergo
color corrections, but an AdobeRGB
image file that does not support the
DCF 2.0 will be printed in vague
colors without color corrections.
What is an AdobeRGB?
An AdobeRGB is a color space that the
Adobe Systems Incorporated employs
and uses as the default setting for
image processing software including
the Adobe Photoshop. The
AdobeRGB, an optional color space
extended with the DCF 2.0,
determines the color ranges widely
used in printing industry.
For whether or not a digital camera
supports the AdobeRGB, see the
operating instructions of the digital
camera.
