File formats
The following table lists some common image file formats. Select
an appropriate format supported by your image processing
application when you save image files.
Format (File extension) Explanation
BITMAP (*.BMP)
(Windows only)
A standard image file format for Windows.
Most Windows applications including word
processing applications can read and
prepare images in this format.
JPEG (*.JPG) A compressed file format. The compression
quality can be selected. The JEPG format
enables relatively high compression ratio.
However, the higher the compression ratio is,
the lower the image quality becomes. (Note
that the original data cannot be restored.) In
addition, the quality deteriorates every time
the data is saved. The TIFF format is
recommended in cases where modification,
retouch and the like are required.
