Image Recording Format |
Still Images: JPEG (Exif 2.2)*1
Movies: AVI (Image data : Motion JPEG, Audio data:WAVE [monaural]) *1 This digital camera supports Exif 2.2 (also called "Exif Print"). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the communication between digital cameras and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camera's image data at the time of shooting is used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints. |
Compression | Superfine/fine/normal |
