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 (

) to adjust RAW images as desired with

minimal loss of image quality.

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 4:3 Shots per Memory Card” (

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.

When transferring RAW images (or RAW and JPEG images

recorded together) to a computer, always use the dedicated

software (

Additionally, noise reduction level (

=

71

), i-Contrast (

=

72

)

and My Colors (

=

) cannot be configured.

The file extension for JPEG images is .JPG, and the extension for

RAW images is .CR2.
