Canon included a surfeit of features in the Canon 5D Mark II digital camera, but one of the most confusing to beginning shooters is the wealth of image quality options. There are nine different image quality settings. Six store files in a JPEG format, and three store files in a RAW format that preserves the photograph's exposure and color information for editing later. It's important for photographers to know change this common photo setting on the fly.
Instructions
1. Click the "Menu" button on the back of the digital camera to enter the Canon 5D Mark II's settings.
2. Navigate to the first screen of camera settings, indicated by a camera icon with one small dot in the upper right corner.
3. Scroll to the "Quality" menu option, the first on the list.
4. Select whether you'd like the camera to store a RAW image. RAW stores the entire image uncompressed; SRAW1 and SRAW2 store smaller versions of the file.
5. Select whether you'd like the camera to store a JPEG version of the file. JPEG files can be selected by both size and quality.
6. Exit the menu and resume shooting.
