Shooting RAW Images
Still Images Movies
RAW images are “raw” (unprocessed) data, recorded with essentially
no loss of image quality from the camera’s internal image processing.
Use Digital Photo Professional (= 164) to adjust RAW images as
desired with minimal loss of image quality.
● Press the [ ] button, choose [ ] in the
menu, and choose the desired option
(= 29).
Records JPEG images. JPEG images are 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.
Records RAW images. RAW images are “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) to convert images to ordinary
JPEG or TIFF files. Images can be adjusted with minimal loss of
image quality.
For details on resolution and the number of shots that will fit on a
card, see “Number of Shots per Memory Card” (= 197).
Records two images, both a RAW image and a JPEG image,
for each shot.
The JPEG image can be viewed on a computer or printed without
using the software.
