Image quality controls the file type and rate of compression. RAW is a high-quality image file. The
extra fine, fine, and standard settings produce JPEG files at various rates of compression. The higher
the image quality, the lower the rate of compression and the larger the file sizes. If economical use of
the memory card is important, use the standard mode. The RAW & JPEG option creates two image
files at one time, a 3264 X 2448 RAW file and a fine quality JPEG file with an image size selected with
the menu. The image files are saved with the same file name, but with different extensions (p. 148). It
can require more than 10 seconds to save RAW files; the frame counter turns yellow and no images
can be captured during this period.
Only full-size images can be taken with RAW image quality. RAW images require special processing
before they can be used, refer to the DiMAGE Viewer software manual. Some camera functions
cannot be used with the RAW image-quality setting. See page 88 for more information.

Image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the
image size, the larger the file size. Choose image size based on the
final use of the image - smaller images are more suitable for web sites
whereas larger sizes produce higher quality prints. The 3264 X 2176
option uses a 3:2 image ratio than the usual ratio of 4:3. When this is
selected, the top and bottom of the monitor image is masked.
