In the <RAW> image-recording quality mode, you can capture the an image in the RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously. This is convenient when you want RAW and JPEG versions of the same image. The RAW image can undergo optimal processing, while the JPEG image enables you to use the image as is without any processing.
When the image is recorded in the RAW and JPEG formats, the <JPEG> icon will not be displayed in the viewfinder. The rear LCD panel will also not display the JPEG image quality
- The RAW and JPEG images captured simultaneously will have the same image file number but a different extension. The JPEG image will have the .JPG extension and the RAW image will have .TIF.
- The image-recording quality selection with the procedure explained on the preceding page will remain in effect even during the simultaneous RAW and JPEG image capture.
