Recording |
| The Olympus E-System offers a range of recording qualities. Besides a variety of JPEG resolutions (SHQ, HQ, SQ; for E-3 and E-420: Super Fine, Fine, Normal, Basic), the E-System enables files to be captured in RAW (12 bit) format. If required, these RAW files can even be processed in the camera later and converted to JPEGs using the RAW data edit function. Also the E-System can be set to store in parallel a frame in both RAW and JPEG format. For E-330 and E-500, also TIFF is available. |

Media – Recording Media |
| The Olympus E-System saves files to the CompactFlash storage media (Type I and II) and is compatible with all capacities, Microdrive and xD Picture Cards. |
| |
| Exif and DCF |
|
Files are saved according to the DCF industry standard. This enables direct printing and ensures the memory cards may be shared between cameras.
Thanks to Exif 2.2 support, the camera settings used are saved with the image file. Compatible printers can apply the information to optimise results. |

To compare the settings for different images, detailed image information, such as exposure or white balance, can be displayed with the shots. Images captured with the camera held vertically may be easily rotated and saved again. |
