RAW Data Mode
The RAW data mode records images as 10bit/channel data from the CCD. RAW data
files are automatically assigned a file extension, a period and three letters (.orf) after the
file name. This RAW data mode is intended primarily for images to be processed later
with CAMEDIA Master 2.5.
CAMEDIA Master 2.5 restores RAW data images to displayable form using the same
type of processing that the camera uses.
The size of each file will be approximately 7.6MB.
Note
• Pictures taken in the RAW mode are stored without compression, resulting in extremely large file
sizes which limit the number of images that can be stored on a memory card.
• After the camera is set in the RAW data mode, it will remain in this mode even after the camera is
switched off and on again. When you no longer intend to store images as RAW data, you must use
the menu to switch this feature off.
• When taking pictures in the RAW data mode, a compressed image is displayed as a thumbnail in
the monitor. If you have no special reason for using the RAW data mode, then switch it off.
• If you have taken pictures in RAW data mode by mistake, you can view the images using
CAMEDIA Master 2.5.
