• The aspect ratio, file format, JPEG recorded pixels, and JPEG quality level can also be changed using the control panel.

• When the file format, JPEG recorded pixels, or JPEG quality level is changed, the number of images that can be recorded for that setting appears on the monitor.

Aspect Ratio

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.

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.

File Format

You can set the format of image files.

JPEG

RAW

RAW+

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].

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.174), you can create JPEG images with

these effects.

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.139)

• When Digital Filter, HDR Capture or Smart Effect 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 u (Blur Control) mode or Z (Night Scene

HDR)/w (Quick Macro)/p (HDR) of H (Scene) mode, the image is saved in JPEG format, regardless of the [File Format] setting.

• The more pixels there are, the bigger the file size. The file size will also vary according to the [JPEG Quality] setting.

• The quality of a captured image depends on the exposure control, resolution of the printer and a variety of other factors.

JPEG Quality

You can set the image quality level (compression ratio). The default setting is C (Best).

Quality: clearer File size: larger C Best

D Better

E Good Quality: grainier File size: smaller

Color Space

You can select a color space to use.

sRGB

AdobeRGB

Mainly used for devices such as a computer. (default setting)
