Silent Picture - RAW like?

[ch_d]

hey.
one question for silent pictures.
in the manual stands that silent picture is a uncrompressed YUV 422 picutre. Is it like RAW? Can i get informations out of the picture like RAW?

I am looking into shooting a stop motion video with silent pictures. Is the quality better than the quicktime 420 codec? how big is the framesize? how many pictures per second can be made?

thnx for helping out!

framsize can be seen in the debug menu. Take a look at the buffer-size value. (it varies from model to model and also the mode you are in).

YUV 422 is by far better than recording video, when it comes to that.
However, for optimal quality, remember to use the 422ToTiff converter instead of the JPG converter.

I don't know - test it. Depends mostly on the card speed. Set silent-pic to burst mode and test it.
