About RAW images
To open a RAW image file recorded with this camera, the software Imaging Edge Desktop is needed. With Imaging
Edge Desktop, you can open a RAW image file, then convert it into a popular image format such as JPEG or TIFF, or
readjust the white balance, saturation or contrast of the image.
RAW images recorded with this camera have a resolution of 14 bits per pixel.
You can set the compression method for RAW images using [RAW File Type].
Note
If you do not intend to edit the images on your computer, we recommend that you record in JPEG or HEIF format.
An environment supporting the HEIF format is required to play back HEIF images.
