What format do u use for ur pics? If u want lossless, u might wanna use PNG. And even if u did use PNG, the result might not be as good as u'd hope. However, don't take my word for it, i'm no pic expert.

Also, videos recorded with Action are NOT lossless.

On PNG the colors are darkers and with jpg are brighter, but when I record on mp4 and AVI the colors aren't the reals, look at the photos. It's cuz codecs or smth?

I can't say much about the pic formats bcs i have no idea what affects them on ur system.

For the videos, if by "not real colors" u mean "not lossless", then yes. Action does not support lossless codecs, meaning there will ALWAYS be a different color in a pixel or two. Recording with AVI will get u the best quality Action can provide, but it will NOT be lossless. The MP4 container is practically the same, except it records smaller files i think. Basically neither AVI or MP4 codecs are lossless.

In other words, if u're looking for lossless recording, u'll have to look elsewhere

Unfortunately no, u have to use another recording software to get lossless quality. I can name a couple.
