[Image picture quality]

N: Normal mode
Due to the compression ratio is high, a file size is small.

F: Fine mode
Due to the compression ratio is low, a file size is large. The picture quality is better than one in the normal mode.

RAW: RAW mode
The raw data as you take an image is saved as a RAW file (.DNG) A JPEG file converted from the RAW file is also recorded. Generally, the image that you take is processed and compressed in a camera to save a small file as .JPG. But due to this image processing, the picture quality will be lower. In RAW format, an image is saved as a raw data without the image processing. You can edit a raw image in high quality as you take with the image processing software.
The aspect rate of 3:2 can be used in the RAW mode and the Fine mode. (The normal is 4:3)
