Setting

You can set the format of image files.

File Format

JPEG

Captures images in JPEG format. (default setting)

You can change the [JPEG Recorded Pixels] and [JPEG Quality]

settings.

RAW

Captures images in CMOS sensor output format 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.205), you can create JPEG images

with these effects.

RAW+

Captures images in both JPEG and RAW formats.

When [One Push File Format] is assigned to the V/Y button, you

can press the button to temporarily change the file format and save an

image in both file formats. (p.172)

•

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

and cannot be changed. To change the file format, deactivate these

functions.

•

In Z (Night Scene HDR) of H mode, images are saved in JPEG format,

regardless of the [File Format] setting.
