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.
