The digital still camera saves recorded images as digital data. The format of the
saved data is called as the file format. The formats that can be used with this
camera are as follows:
saved data is called as the file format. The formats that can be used with this
camera are as follows:
JPEG format
Most digital still cameras, operating systems of computers, and browser
software adopt this format. This format is able to compress files without
appreciable deterioration. However, if the image is compressed and saved on
repeated occasions, the image will deteriorate. This camera records still images
using the JPEG format for normal recording.
