We're going to shoot on the RAW + jpeg mode so that you have a smaller file to work with as well. 

We're also going to be working with COMPRESSED RAW files so that you have more manageable files to work with at home. Note that this decreases the bit depth and allows less information to work with in post-production. 

Bit depth specifies how much information is available for each pixel in an image. The more bits of information per pixel, the more values are possible and the more accurate tonal representation can be achieved.
