Taking JPG/JPEG Photographs?

When accessing MENU > Quality, it gives you certain quality options such as L - L2 - M - M2 - S - S1 - S2 - S3 - RAW + L and RAW. Which of the quality options allow you to take JPG/JPEG Photographs? Thanks, in advance 🙂 XVGVSTVS.

Everything except the RAW options are JPEG image options. The L, M, & S refer to the large, medium, or small image resolution sizes. You also get to choose the JPEG compression level when you shoot JPEG. The compression level option is an occon showing a curve with either a rounded edge, moderately jagged edge, or very jagged edge -- this indicates the compression level (rounded curve means least compression and highest quality).

The L with the rounded curve is the cameras highest resolution and highest quality JPEG setting (apart from shooting RAW and controlling the adjustments yourself.)

L, L2, M, M2, S, S1, S2, S3 are all JPEG where L is finest quality.
