"Now we're going to talk about setting picture quality up. So under quality we're going to click over, and the choices are fine, or coarse, or RAW, and what RAW is, is a professional format that's sort of like a digital negative that allows you to change the exposure, the tint, saturation, and in all, a couple of dozen different things within the software. But RAW also is a very large file size, so you can take JPEG at eight megapixels, you can take RAW at eight magapixels, and the RAW will be a lot larger than the JPEG.
