CSV format This data format lists recording fields, and segregates them with a comma (,). Generally, character strings come as double quotation marks in CSV format. Some software include data input and output functions in CSV format as part of a multipurpose format.

Exif-TIFF format Exif stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. This image file format is based on the TIFF image data format, and allows thumbnail images and image properties to be embedded into the data. Software that does not support this format processes the image as a regular TIFF image.

Exif-JPEG format Exif stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. This image file format is based on the JPEG image data format, and allows thumbnail images and image properties to be embedded into the data. Software that does not support this format processes the image as a regular JPEG image.

CCD RAW data CCD stands for Charge Coupled Device. A semiconductor device that converts optical information into electrical signals. RAW image data is raw data recorded from CCD output. This data can be transferred to a PC, and manipulated into image data with unique settings such as JPEG and TIFF using specialized software.

JPEG An image compression format. Select INGPE2_C (S. Fine), INGPE2_D (Fine), or INGPE2_E (Economy) for image quality, and the image is saved in JPEG format. Although the image quality deteriorates a little, more images can be saved in the same space.

TIFF A file format for saving image data. The image is not compressed making the file size large, but no deterioration of image quality occurs.

gal TIFF16 Although TIFF images are usually 8 bit, this is 16 bit TIFF. One 8 bit pixel can reproduce 256 colors. More computations are required when image processing as the dynamic range is larger.

sRGB (standard RGB) An international color space standard defined by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This is specified as a standard color space for generic PC monitors and Exif.

AdobeRGB This color space is recommended for commercial printing and document creation by Adobe Systems (US). Its color reproduction range is larger than sRGB, and adequately covers the color reproduction range for printing. Therefore, color data only reproducible on a printer are not lost when editing on the PC. Note: using it with unsupported software causes the colors to appear faint.
