Now that you have an understanding of the essential buttons, features, and controls on your Sony mirrorless camera, you can take a deeper look at the controls found on your camera. In this video, author Richard Harrington demonstrates how to change the image size and format you are using when shooting with your Sony mirrorless camera.
- Your Sony camera is capable of capturing…a wide range of formats.…Let's talk first about images…and then briefly about movies.…To access these settings,…just press the Menu button on your camera.…The first choice you'll be presented with on the first page…is the ability to change quality.…So, for example, we can select JPEG…and specify that we want to shoot RAW plus JPEG,…or RAW only.…I'll go RAW plus JPEG for right now.…
From the RAW format, you are presented with two options,…compressed and uncompressed.…Compressed will reduce the file size…in a way that is mostly visually lossless.…You won't see a reduction in quality.…But the uncompressed option does give you…additional information and a little more…flexibility when it comes to editing.…The JPEG quality lets you choose…a general compression level.…Extra fine is the least compression, standard is more.…
You can also assign a size based on megapixels here.…And the aspect ratio,…do you want to shoot the traditional…three by two aspect ratio…or a more video style at 16 by nine?…
