Setting

You can set the format of image files.

Select the horizontal and vertical ratio of images from K, J, I (default

setting) or L. The aspect ratio of the camera monitor is J, so if a different

aspect ratio is selected, the monitor display changes to match the set

aspect ratio.

File Format

JPEG

Captures images in JPEG format. (default setting)

You can change the number of recorded pixels in [JPEG Recorded

Pixels], and the image quality level in [JPEG Quality].

RAW

The RAW format is a CMOS sensor output format saved without

processing. RAW files are recorded with the general-purpose DNG

(Digital Negative) format designed by Adobe Systems.

Effects of White Balance, Custom Image and Color Space are not

applied to the captured images, but they are saved as actual original

information. When you perform the development process by using the

RAW Development function (p.180), or using the provided software

“SILKYPIX Developer Studio 3.0 for PENTAX” (p.208), you can create

JPEG images with these effects.

RAW+

Captures images in both RAW and JPEG formats.

When [One Push File Format] is assigned to the d/i button, you can

press the d/i button to temporarily change the file format and save

an image in both file formats. (p.145)

• When Digital Filter or HDR Capture is set, the file format is fixed to [JPEG]

and cannot be changed. To change the file format, turn these functions off.

• When the capture mode is set to Z (Night Scene HDR)/w (Quick Macro)/

(HDR) of H (Scene) mode, or u (Blur Control) mode, the image is

saved in JPEG format, regardless of the [File Format] setting.

Aspect Ratio

The number of recordable images available with continuous shooting is

reduced when the aspect ratio is set to K, J, or L instead of I.
