RAW images

The RAW format file is the raw data yet to go
through any kind of digital processing. A RAW
file is different from a more common file format
such as JPEG in that it is the raw material to be
processed for professional purposes.
You need the "Image Data Converter" software
included on the CD-ROM (supplied) in order
to open a RAW image recorded on this camera.
With this software, a RAW image can be opened
and converted to a common format, such as
JPEG or TIFF, and its white balance, color
saturation, contrast, etc., can be readjusted.
