What image quality mode to use?
Hi:
I have an Olympus C-50. In the past, with my D-40, I had always chosen the SHQ (low compression) mode. But I've often wondered if I should be shooting under TIFF (uncompressed) mode to obtain the highest quality shoot for future printing and retouching. I've never considered shooting under any of the other modes offered (HQ, SQ1, SQ2). So my questions a 1) Is there really any noticeable difference between TIFF and SHQ mode? 2) Any reason to be shooting under one mode vs the other? Thanks It's Mr. Rather B. Beachen to you |

What image quality mode to use?
1) Is there really any noticeable difference between TIFF and SHQ mode? It depends on the camera. In some cameras, finest JPEG is virtually free of compression artifacts. In some others, it isn't. I don't know about your particular camera. I guess if you look for reviews they may give you an idea of the quality of its JPEG processing. 2) Any reason to be shooting under one mode vs the other? Again. It depends on the camera. But more importantly too, it depends on the person and circumstances. Personally I only shoot finest JPEG. But that's because I specifically researched and chose a camera which finest JPEG is virtually free of compression artifacts, and in-camera processing is award winning (DIMA 2004). It also enables me to take far more shots, as TIFF file size can be more than twice or up to three times that of JPEG. |

Which camera do you have, Sabineellen, and do you know if the D70 is free of
artifacts in FINE compression mode? Thank you bunches. Simon Ramirez "Sabineellen" wrote in message ... 1) Is there really any noticeable difference between TIFF and SHQ mode?
