About RAW
A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to
digital data. It is recorded to the card as is, and you can select the
quality as follows: _, M _, or S _.
A _ image can be processed with [[_]1: RAW image processing]
(p.282) and saved as a JPEG image. (M _ and S _ images cannot
be processed with the camera.) While the RAW image itself does not
change, you can process the RAW image according to different
conditions to create any number of JPEG images from it.
With all RAW images, you can use Digital Photo Professional (provided
software, p.394) to make various adjustments and then generate a
JPEG, TIFF, etc., image incorporating those adjustments.
[] Commercia!ly_available Software may not be able to display RAW images.
