Question Photos Format

[carrotmuseum]

I am running stock Android 11 on a Nokia 4.2 phone.

I prefer my still photos to be in the JPG format for ease of sharing, manipulation etc. The photos always appear in some weird format which I can only open in Windows Paint, and then have to "save as" jpg, so that I cna manipulate in my photos editor of choise - Paint Shop. Win Paint does not show what format the photos are in by default.

I cannot find any setting in the Android camera app to save my photos ae jpg's by default.

Where is it?

Are the photos being saved in HEIC, which is a newer compressed format (and uses space more efficiently)?
