Save File Formats:






Jpeg : A standard for all kind of picture format.
                    A compressed image file.

Raw: An Uncompressed image file.
                  Great for editing use, Photoshop or Lightroom can support.

A result of zooming in of Low Quality and Size of image file. Which captured super sharp ( not blur ), but looks grains instead. A pixelated image.
It called : Digital Noise.

Memory Card:

Read & Write speed!!!
Extreme represent Faster than Ultra
but slower than pro. Extreme
SD card. ( Secure Digital)
This is resemble of Class 10:
Faster than Class 4 or else below 10.







CF card. Which is very hard and sturdy. Unlike SD, fragile and easily broken. And of course the price is higher.
It is a recommend for everyday photographer.


USB also playing a main role here:
SS means SuperSpeed

Data Transferring Speed

3.0 is faster than 2.0

Do you heard of Rolls-Royce Car? A car logo with RR? I never heard before because I never saw this car on road.

After you saw this image, you know what I meant.
This car is a hand-made car, is not come out of a 100 production in a single time.

Rumors spread that Leica is from RR.


Such RARE Car, won't you like to buy a Camera from there too?
