Capturing in RAW Format
The camera can capture images in JPEG and RAW format.
JPEG Images
Processed in the camera for optimal image quality 
and compressed to reduce file size. However, the 
compression process is irreversible, and images 
cannot be restored to their original, unprocessed 
state. Image processing may also cause some loss 
of image quality.
RAW Images
“Raw” (unprocessed) data, recorded with essentially 
no loss of image quality from the camera’s image 
processing. The data cannot be used in this state 
for viewing on a computer or printing. You must first 
process images on the camera (= 132) or use the 
software (Digital Photo Professional, = 182) to 
convert images to JPEG or TIFF files. Images can be 
adjusted with minimal loss of image quality.
 
z
Press the [ ] button, and then choose 
[ ] in the menu (= 29).
 
z
To capture in RAW format only, choose 
the [ ] option.
 
z
To capture images in both JPEG and 
RAW format simultaneously, choose the 
JPEG image quality, and then press the 
[ ] button. A [ ] mark is displayed next 
to [RAW]. To undo this setting, follow the 
same steps and remove the [ ] mark 
next to [RAW].
 
When transferring RAW images (or RAW and JPEG images 
recorded together) to a computer, always use the dedicated 
software (= 182).
