Best Answer

The JPEG/EXIF file format is optimized for storing photographs like images. It uses lossy compression, RGB, 8 bit per channel, no support for transparency or multiple images, 2D images support. The files are small and as long as the compression is not too great the image quality is almost identical to the original. JPEG images are very common, being supported virtually by every imaging device and image processing software. Due to their small size are ideal for storing, transmitting and embedding photos or similar images.

.Jpg is an image file format. When saving an image this is the default save setting. You can change this to save images as .png if you wish.

Depends on if the image is animated or not. If its an animated image it can be saved as a .gif otherwise you can save it as a .jpg.

It's a file format that doesn't take up much space. Drawbacks are that it is a lossy format that causes some loss in image quality when you save.

I moved my pictures from the computer to my memory stick but when i turn on my camera it says i have no images and all the pictures are in JPEG format so Why can't my camera recognize my pictures?

they may well be in jpeg format but there are other things saved in jpeg other than the pixels of the image, such as camera make, time of capture, aperture etc that can't be controlled manually, which are essential for the camera to recognise images as "it's own", and therefore display them in the playback. I've tried the same thing with my camera.
