Processing RAW Images

RAW images contain 'raw' data that has not been subjected to any compression processing by

displayed by standard software programs. You can use Digital Photo Professional to adjust and
convert RAW images into standard JPEG or TIFF images with minimal image quality loss.
• RAW images can only be recorded on models that list RAW as one of the
data types in the Specifications section of the Camera User Guide.
• Only RAW images compatible with Digital Photo Professional can be
converted. Be sure to refer to the Data Type item in the Specification section
of the Camera User Guide.
