Operation Manual
To record raw, unprocessed data from the camera image sensor, select a [RAW] option for image
quality in the shooting menu as described below. JPEG copies of RAW images can be created using
the [RAW CONVERSION] option in the playback menu, or RAW images can be viewed on a
computer using optional [RAW FILE CONVERTER] software.
Press [MENU/OK] in shooting mode to display the shooting menu. Press the selector up or
down to highlight [IMAGE QUALITY] and press [MENU/OK].
1.
Highlight an option and press [MENU/OK]. Select [RAW] to record only RAW images, or
[FINE+RAW] or [NORMAL+RAW] to record both JPEG copy together with the RAW images.
[FINE+RAW] uses lower JPEG compression ratios for higher-quality JPEG images, while
[NORMAL+RAW] uses higher JPEG compression ratios to increase the number of images
that can be stored.
2.
The Function Buttons
To toggle RAW image quality on or off for a single shot, assign [RAW] to a function button. If
a JPEG option is currently selected for image quality, pressing the button temporarily selects
the equivalent JPEG+RAW option. If a JPEG+RAW option is currently selected, pressing the
button temporarily selects the equivalent JPEG option, while if [RAW] is selected, pressing the
button temporarily selects [FINE]. Taking a picture or pressing the button again restores the
previous setting.
