RAW, sRAW and RAW+JPEG
To control image resolution and file size or to preserve RAW data, both cameras offer six choices
for JPEG capture: Large (full) resolution in with fine quality or normal quality compression
settings; Medium resolution (8 megapixels on EOS 50D, 16 megapixels on EOS 5D Mark II)
with either fine or normal quality compression, and Small resolution (3.7 megapixels on
EOS 50D, 5.2 megapixels on EOS 5D Mark II) with fine and normal compression settings.
In addition to these, there are three RAW file types that can be combined with any of the six
JPEG settings in the RAW+JPEG mode for a total of 27 image quality-recording modes on
each camera. The sRAW1 format captures 7.1 megapixels on the EOS 50D, 10 megapixels
on the EOS 5D Mark II. Next, sRAW2 captures 3.8 megapixels on the EOS 50D and 5.2
megapixels on the EOS 5D Mark II.

EOS5D Mark II Image Recording Specifications
The number of possible shotsand maximum burst are based on Canon’stesting standards and
a 2GB CF card. Under Maximum burst, the number in parenthesesis the maximum burst with a
UDMA-compatible 2GB CF card used in Canon’s testing standards. JPEG L1, ISO 100, Picture Style:
Standard, Custom Function: Default settings. The actual file size, number of possible shots, and
maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, memory card brand, image-recording quality,
ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Function settings, etc.
Shooting is possible until the card becomes full.
The number of possible shotsand maximum burstapply to a 2GB CFcard basedon Canon's
