Setting the Image-recording Quality

The 73/83/74/84/76/86 modes record the image in the widely-used JPEG. In the 1 mode, the captured image will require post-processing with the software provided. In the 1+73

(RAW+JPEG) mode, the image is recorded in both the RAW and JPEG simultaneously. Note that 1 and 1+73 cannot be selected in the Basic Zone modes.

¡ The number of possible shots and maximum burst (p.54) apply to a Canon

512MB CF card.

¡ The single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (ISO 100 with

[Parameter 1] set). The actual single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, shooting mode, ISO speed, parameters, etc.

¡ In the case of monochrome images (p.65), the file size will be smaller so the number of possible shots will be higher.

¡ On the top LCD panel, you can check the remaining number of images the CF card can record.

¡ A different image-recording quality can be set separately for the Basic Zone modes and Creative Zone modes.

About the RAW

The RAW assumes that the image will undergo post-processing with a personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use the bundled software to obtain the optimum effect.

Image processing refers to adjusting the RAW image’s white balance, contrast, etc., to create the desired image.

Note that RAW images will not work with direct printing or DPOF.

Max. Burst During Continuous Shooting

The maximum burst during continuous shooting depends on the imagerecording quality. The approx. maximum burst during continuous shooting is indicated below for each image-recording quality.

Note that with high-speed CF cards, the maximum burst may be higher than shown in the table below depending on the shooting conditions.

¡ The number of shots remaining during the maximum burst is displayed on the lower right of the viewfinder.

Max. Burst

¡ If “9” is displayed, it indicates that the maximum burst is nine or more shots. If “5” is displayed, it is five shots.

¡ While you are shooting and the remaining maximum burst is fewer than 9, the viewfinder will display “8”, “7”, etc. If you stop the continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase.

The above table’s figures for the maximum burst apply when all the captured images have been processed internally and written to the CF card.

54

¡ With white balance bracketing (p.60), the maximum burst will be 2 shots.

¡ The maximum burst is displayed even when the drive mode is set to

< u> (Single) or <j>. The maximum burst is displayed even when a CF card is not in the camera. Therefore, before shooting, make sure that a

CF card is installed in the camera.
