Quality
_ If you delete a RAW file from the 
camera, the corresponding JPEG 
image will also be deleted.
• [RAW] images are recorded with a smaller 
data volume than [RAW
KJPEG].
• The following functions can be used for 
[RAW
KJPEG].
– [CATEGORY]
– [FAVORITE]
– [DPOF PRINT]
– You can print pictures directly from the 
camera on a PictBridge compatible 
printer (P113).
• You can enjoy more advanced picture 
editing if you use RAW files. You can save 
RAW files in a file format (JPEG, TIFF 
etc.) that can be displayed on your PC 
etc., develop them and edit them using the 
software “SILKYPIX Developer Studio” by 
Ichikawa Soft Laboratory on the CD-ROM 
(supplied).
• The number of pixels that can be selected 
differs depending on the aspect ratio. If 
you change the aspect ratio, set the 
picture size.
• “EZ” is an abbreviation of 
“Extended optical Zoom”.
• The extended optical zoom does not work 
in [HIGH SENS.] in scene mode so the 
picture size for [EZ] is not displayed.
• Pictures may appear mosaic depending 
on the subject and the recording 
conditions. 
• Refer to P130 for information about the 
number of recordable pictures.
• If a RAW picture is recorded with the 
built-in memory, it will take time to write 
the picture data.
• [QUALITY] settings cannot be set in 
intelligent auto mode
 
[
].
• The quality cannot be set to [RAW] or 
[RAW
KJPEG] in [HIGH SENS.] in scene 
mode.
