My Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ7 digital camera has started saving all pictures in both JPEG and TIFF formats, which is a pain because it takes up a great deal of space. As I've lost the manual, it is proving impossible to fix this. Can you help?

DQ: I have always felt very uncomfortable saying something is the best, the first or the fastest. But I

feel a special case can be made for Steve's Digicams (www.steves-digicam.com).

It is a terrific site for anyone who wants to learn about digital cameras. He has more information than you could ever want about all the latest gadgets. His reviews are extremely thorough with lots of pictures. If you are thinking of buying a digital camera, you could do a lot worse than to see what this site has to say.

The site's comments are aimed at the experienced photographer or, at least, the very patient. Beyond reviewing and displaying results from new cameras, this site keeps records of older ones too. Your particular camera - long since upgraded, of course - and its many recording modes can be found at www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/fz7_pg3.html. If you scroll down the page, you should come across Record Menu options and under that there will be 'Picture', 'Size' and 'Quality'. You can set the size to 'small' or the quality to 'JPEG'. One of those ought to fix your problem.
