Selecting the optimal record mode
Record modes are divided into 3 main types: RAW, TIFF and JPEG. RAW
records without reflecting the settings for exposure compensation, white
balance, etc. on the images themselves. TIFF or JPEG records as images that
reflect these settings. JPEG also compresses images to reduce the file size
when recording them. JPEG is divided into “SHQ”, “HQ” and “SQ” types based
on the image size (pixel count) or compression rate. The higher the
compression rate, the grainier the image will appear when enlarged during
display. A rough guide for selection is shown below.
Make fine-adjustments of the shooting settings on the computer
• [RAW]
Concern over roughness as the picture is printed in large size
• [TIFF]
To print large images on full-size paper/To edit and process images on a
computer
• [SHQ][HQ] with a large pixel count
To print postcard-size images
• [SQ] with a large pixel count
To send as an e-mail attachment or post on a web site

To restore functions to their settings at the time of purchase
• The settings are saved even when the power is switched off. (When power is
switched on in Scene mode, it changes to specific settings.)
• To return to the factory default settings, set [RESET] under [CUSTOM
RESET SETTING]. You can select up to 2 types of settings for reset. Set
various functions of the camera and register using [RESET1] or [RESET2]
under [CUSTOM RESET SETTING].
