My Z8 switched to JPEG only

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

Precapture on the Z8 and Z9 is jpeg only (C15, C30, C60, C120) and will override your normal setting to use raw. The precapture default is jpeg standard, although after the most recent firmware, you can now change it to jpeg fine (with a very cryptic menu).

Is it possible that you used precapture and left it in precapture? I've done that a couple of times and try to remember to change back to my base settings after I use it.
 
If you switch to 30fps or higher, it will switch from RAW to JPG. I had that happen and it was a surprise to me. I expected an alert of some kind. Nope, it just does what it needs based on user input.
