What are the purposes of the different Record Modes?
Record modes allow photographers to quickly and conveniently vary the quality settings used to capture and save images in-camera. While it is possible to always shoot at the higher-quality settings and then process the images down to lower file sizes later using a computer, it may be more convenient in some situations to shoot at other than the higher-quality settings. For example, it may be preferable to shoot using a lower-quality JPEG setting when the shot is intended for use on the Internet, where small file size is more important than rich detail. The SP-570UZ has three record modes, whose benefits and quality settings are detailed below: • RAW is the highest-quality record mode available on the SP-570UZ, and it allows the photographer the most creative control in post-production. Images are saved to the memory card from the camera sensor with minimal image processing. Factors such as white balance, sharpness, contrast and color are unchanged so they can be modified later on a com

Some photographers prefer to shoot RAW format all the time for all subjects, while others may shoot RAW in situations that may pose complicated exposure problems, such as wedding photography. Each camera manufacturer has its own version of RAW tailored to its cameras; therefore, special software is re

Some photographers shoot RAW format all the time for all subjects, while others may shoot RAW in situations that may pose complicated exposure problems, such as wedding photography. Each camera manufacturer has its own version of RAW tailored to the camera, so the files must be processed and converted to other file formats such as JPEG and TIFF using specific software processors
