What is the difference between raw and fine? Does it look like it is set for the best picture?
Raw is the unmodified file that requires software to optimise its appearance.
Fine is a Jpeg setting. With all jpeg settings the camera does some in camera optimisation of the image. Once done, it compresses the file to save space. The amount it compresses the file CAN have a quality Impact. So using Fine setting it minimises the amount of compression and maximises quality. Of course the less you compress...the bigger the files and the more space it takes on your card.
Generally speaking many serious photographers use raw, as they feel its important to have total control of the processing. But in modern cameras for most people the quality from Jpeg is perfectly acceptable.
