Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera
ILCE-7CM2 α7CII
JPEG/HEIF Switch
Switches the file format (JPEG / HEIF) of the still image to be recorded.
The JPEG format has general compatibility. You can view and edit JPEG files in various environments. The HEIF format
has high compression efficiency. The camera can record with high image quality and small file sizes in the HEIF format.
Depending on the computer or software, you may not be able to view or edit HEIF files. In addition, a HEIF-compatible
environment is required to play back still images in the HEIF format. You can enjoy high-quality still images by
connecting the camera and the TV via HDMI.
