New C15 with Z8 3.01 Update

[aufinger]

One of the changes I noticed with the recent Z8 update is that they added Release Mode>Continuous 15 that shoots only JPEG Large, no RAW. I find it strange that they added a dedicated C15 setting without RAW when the camera already supports 15 fps with RAW in Continuous High-Speed. While giving two 15 fps options sounds like a good idea, I have to wonder how many people are going to be looking for their RAW files after shooting in C15 because they didn't realize the Quality went from RAW/JPEG to JPEG only. I say that because I think a lot of people, including myself, have it in our heads that you can shoot RAW in all Frame Advance Rate modes under 30 fps. That's not true anymore.

Also noted is that C60 now shoots JPEG Large (was JPEG DX).

This is meant for precapture. Previously precapture was 30 fps at a minimum. Now you can have precapture at 15fps.

It is jpg only because precapture is jpg only .

I figured there was a reason but didn't know what it was. Thanks.
