Jpeg Fine Vs Normal. Mind that with the naked eye you wont notice any difference. I have taken the same photos in each format and to me the image looks the same any advantage of using the fine mode. 8 and 1. For normal it comprresses less losing less data and for fine it loses even less data.
2122004 Discussion of Canon Digital SLR equipment and issues common to Canon digital capture post processing and technique. Have a look at the three images here. Is there something different about the individual pixels themselves or their spacing. JPEG images are compressed using an image-processing algorithm that reduces file size partly by reducing the amount of information the images contain. Do not be afraid to use normal for your JPGs based on the more data has to be better argument. So fine has more detailaccuracy than normal though youd have to test to see if its a different that is a concern to you.
How much you want the camera to degrade your image.
In reply to RobertLaw Oct 29 2011 the difference is the amount of compression that is applies to the JPEG file. 1252009 When you turn up the compression it becomes less choosy about what constitutes like colors which can result in getting weird blocky spots especially in finely graded areas like the sky. You may significantly degrade the quality of the photog. A JPEG is smaller and can be shared right out of the camera while a RAW file is much larger and must be edited before it can be shared. So fine has more detailaccuracy than normal though youd have to test to see if its a different that is a concern to you.
