PROCESSING

Processing is the alteration of the raw image data captured with the camera's CMOS image sensor. For example, the digital image's white balance and image quality can be altered. Images recorded in the mode undergo processing by the camera before being saved as a JPEG image. <RAW> images are processed according to the white balance and processing parameters set at the time of shooting. A <RAW> image can be processed repeatedly using the provided software.

• The image-recording quality (except <RAW>) can also be set in the Basic Zone modes.
• The image file size and CF card's maximum capacity are based on Canon's testing standards (at ISO 100 with [Standard] parameter settings).
• The maximum capacity applies to a 128 MB CF card.
• The image file size and the CF card's maximum capacity varies depending on the subject, shooting mode, ISO speed, and processing parameters.
• On the LCD panel, you can check how many more images the CF card can record.
• In the <RAW> mode, a JPEG image is also recorded simultaneously and embedded within the RAW image.
• The image-recording quality will be memorized in Basic Zone mode and Creative Zone mode respectively
