I need help with Raw...

[dalex100]

i know there is a difference between Raw and normal picture. But on my camera i got 5 options :
1 :an arrow that go down with 6 rectangles (2 rows of 3)
2 :and arrow that go down with 3 rectangles (1 row of 3)
3 :RAW with the first(1) icon
4 :RAW with the second(2) icon
5 : only "RAW"

thank you very much!

I think #1 would be Jpeg FINE, or high resolution, and #2 would be lower resolution.

3&4 will save both the RAW file AND the Jpeg.

5 saves just the RAW file only.

Bitter sounds correct, but what kind of camera?

I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ40. I love this cam

ok well that's not an slr, but it's stil able to shoot in raw, so bitter's probably right

*correction
it is technically an slr, because it looks like the viewfinder goes through the lens, however it isn't an interchangeable lens slr

Bitter's almost always right!

well before you knew what camera it was it was more of an educated guess

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

My point and shoot had similar symbols. So it was a bit more than a guess.

I think I got and Eletrocnic viewfinder.
