TIFF is the highest quality and NORMAL is the lowest setting. 
Choose the setting appropriate for your needs.TIFF format is an uncompressed image file format for an expert. If you take a picture with
the TIFF file format, the number of available shots is decreased and the time for recording
the image file will be longer because the TIFF file size is bigger than the JPG file format.When the TIFF file is being recorded to the memory card, a [PLEASE WAIT!] message will
be displayed on the LCD monitor.This file format complies with the DCF(Design rule for Camera File system).JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): JPEG is the image compression standard
developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most
commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files
efficiently without damaging the data.

							50Metering
If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter
pictures.MULTI(          ) : 
Exposure will be calculated based on an
average of the available light in the image
area. However, the calculation will be
biased towards the centre of the image
area. This is suitable for general use.
SPOT(          ) : Only the rectangular area in the center
of the LCD monitor will be metered for
light. This is suitable when the subject
in the center is exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting. The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may
result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.
INFORMATIONContinuous shotSelect the number of pictures in continuous shooting.
- [SINGLE] : Take one picture only 
- [2, 4, 8 SHOTS] : Take the set number of pictures with one
push of the shutter. Continuous shooting
mode is cleared after one shooting.
