Data Type
Still images: Exif 2.2 (JPEG)*1 Movies: AVI (Image data: Motion JPEG; Audio data: WAVE (monaural)) Sound Memo and Sound Recorder: WAVE (monaural) *1 This digital camera supports Exif 2.2 (also called “Exif Print”). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the communication between digital cameras and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camera’s image data at the time of shooting is used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints.
