BASIC PICTURE SETTINGS
FILE FORMAT
Choose the JPG format JPG or the standardized raw data format DNG
(= digital negative). These can be used individually or simultaneous-
ly.
▸ Select File format in the main menu
▸ Select the desired format
(DNG, DNG + JPG, JPG)
Notes
• The standardized DNG (Digital Negative) format is generally used
for the storage of raw data.
• The resolution setting for the JPG format is used (see next
section), i.e. the two files may have differing resolutions if
picture data is saved in DNG and in JPG simultaneously.
• The remaining number of pictures shown in the LCD panel will
not necessarily change after every picture taken. A counter
change depends on the subject; very fine image structures
result in higher data quantities, while homogeneous surfaces
mean less data.

JPG RESOLUTION
The JPG format setting offers 3 resolution (number of pixels)
options: L-JP G (24 MP), M-JPG (12 MP) and S-JPG (6 MP) (MP =
megapixel). You can therefore adjust your settings to the intended
use and to the available memory card capacity.
▸ Select JPG Settings in the main menu
▸ Select JPG Resolution in the submenu
▸ Select the desired resolution
Note
The DNG format always uses the highest resolution (24 MP), no
matter what JPG setting is selected.
JPG SETTINGS
One of the many advantages of digital photography is that it is very
easy to change critical properties of a picture.
You can manipulate contrast, sharpness and color saturation
before the picture is taken.
Note
The functions and settings described in this section apply to
pictures taken in JPG format only.
