Converting RAW Images

Converting RAW Images
RAW images are extremely high-quality images that are not subject to any deterioration due to
compression processing. Since they are a special type of image, they cannot be opened by
many image editing programs. It is first necessary to convert them into standard image files.
• See Information about Your Camera (p. 95) to determine whether your
camera model supports this function.
• See the Camera User Guide for information about the camera settings for
shooting RAW images.
