RAW/JPG Article

I don't know why Sony doesn't change their firmware so that if you are shooting in RAW and you change to one of the special features - like sweep panorama etc then it displays a warning screen similar to "You are using a special feature which will save a JPEG file only - press the ok button to continue"

That way you can use all the functions on the camera without having to go in to the menu to switch file formats - great for us noobs who want to shoot RAW to try and get more out of the camera for most shot but don't have the experience or equipment to "do it manually" for more complex or difficult shots and techniques, or have family members who are not as experienced with the camera.
