Press the [ ] button, and then choose

[ ] in the menu (= 31).

To capture in RAW format only, choose

the [ ] option.

To capture images in both JPEG and

RAW format simultaneously, choose the

JPEG image quality, and then press the

[

] button. A [ ] mark is displayed

next to [RAW]. To undo this setting, follow

the same steps and remove the [ ] mark

next to [RAW].

When transferring RAW images (or RAW and JPEG images
recorded together) to a computer, always use the dedicated
software “EOS Utility” (= 152).

For details on the relationship between the number of recording
pixels and the number of shots that will fit on a card, see “Number
of Shots per Memory Card” (= 189).

The file extension for JPEG images is .JPG, and the extension
for RAW images is .CR2. File names of JPEG and RAW images
captured together have the same image number.

For details on Digital Photo Professional and EOS Utility
applications, see “Software” (= 152).

When deciding the number of pixels based on print size, use the following

table as a guide for images with a 3:2 aspect ratio.

A2 (16.5 x 23.4 in.)
A3 (11.7 x 16.5 in.)
A4 (8.3 x 11.7 in.)
3.5 x 5 in., 5 x 7 in., Postcard

Capturing in RAW Format

The camera can capture images in JPEG and RAW format.

JPEG

Images

Processed in the camera for optimal image quality

and compressed to reduce file size. However, the

compression process is irreversible, and images

cannot be restored to their original, unprocessed

state. Image processing may also cause some loss

of image quality.

RAW Images

“Raw” (unprocessed) data, recorded with essentially

no loss of image quality from the camera’s image

processing. The data cannot be used in this state for

viewing on a computer or printing. You must first use

the software (Digital Photo Professional, = 152)

to convert images to ordinary JPEG or TIFF files.

Images can be adjusted with minimal loss of image

quality.
