The camera saves photos in either the JPEG or RAW format.
Photos captured by a camera are often converted to the JPEG format and 
stored in the memory according to the settings of the camera at the time 
of shooting. RAW files are not converted to the JPEG format and are stored 
in the memory without any changes.
RAW files have the file extension “SRW“. To adjust and calibrate exposures, 
White Balances, tones, contrasts, and colors of the RAW files, or to convert 
them into JPEG or TIFF format, use the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 
program found on the supplied DVD-ROM.
As RAW files are very large, ensure there is enough space on the memory 
card to save them in this format.

The ISO sensitivity value represents the sensitivity of a camera to light.
The larger the ISO value, the more sensitive the camera is to light. 
Consequently, by selecting a higher ISO sensitivity value, you can capture 
photos in dim or dark places at faster shutter speeds. However, this may 
increase electronic noise and result in a grainy photo.
To set ISO sensitivity, In Shooting mode, press [I] 
: an option.
Examples
ISO 100ISO 400
ISO 800ISO 3200
• You can also set the option by pressing [m]

• Increase the ISO value in places where flash use is prohibited. You can capture 
a clear photo by setting a high ISO value without having to secure more light.
• Use the Noise Reduction function to reduce the visual noise that can appear 
on photos taken at high ISO values. (p. 182)
• Available options may differ depending on the shooting conditions.
