Hi, can we save jpg or png instead of bmp ?

What you receive from the sensor is mostly-uncompressed raster -- every pixel of the image described in 8-bit grayscale. BMP was chosen as the output format because it's convenient, being a popular raster format. You can convert the BMP image to any format of your choosing afterwards.
