Anyone ever Shoot in TIFF?

[DandyDon]

I've never tried it. Heard that my DC500 can also take "photos in TIFF format (14.1MB/photo), which are much higher quality and sharper than JPEG's (approx 4MB/photo)."

Of course, now I am going to try some, but 2 Gb cards, one could still shoot 145 pics before download - and I download every day. Then what...?

Can you shoot RAW Don? If you are able to do some editing, I think it would be the preferred format. I always shoot RAW.

Not on DC500. Looks like I do indeed get a 14.1 mb pic. I can work with it in Adobe or the Infraview program I recently started playing with.

That photo is probably that big because the camera does editing when you shoot. How many MP in the camera?

I am starting collage Photo classes next month but don't know if it deals with RAW.

Here is some info, many sites actually that explain RAW far better than I. Basically, RAW is a format that saves all the data from your shot. This gives you a lot more to work with when editing. That's pretty simplistic but here are some good sites to check out that also talk about TIFF and JPEG Don...

RAW Photography - Google Search

Good luck with your class Jim!

I should add that uncompressed TIFF files are double the size of RAW. A compressed TIFF is slightly smaller than RAW with no loss.

The specs don't mention it: SeaLife Cameras - Underwater Cameras | Digital Camera Technical Specifications

But then neither do the specs on the DC500: SeaLife Cameras - Underwater Cameras | Digital Camera Technical Specifications

TIFF is in the DC500 manual, doesn't seem to be in the Mini or DC600 manual I don't think.
