If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded
simultaneously to the card in both RAW and JPEG at the image-
recording quality that was set. The two images will be recorded with the
same file number (file extension .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW).
In accordance with the selected image size, the <p> or <1> icon will
be displayed on the right side in the viewfinder.
The image size icons indicate the following: 1 (RAW), 41 (Medium
RAW), 61 (Small RAW), JPEG, 3 (Large), H (Medium 1), 5
(Medium 2), 6 (Small).
About RAW
A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to
digital data. The image data is recorded to the card as is, and you can
select the quality as follows: 1, 41, or 61.
A 1 image can be processed with [32: RAW image processing]
(p.286) and saved as a JPEG image. (41 and 61 images cannot
be processed with the camera.) While the RAW image itself does not
change, you can process the RAW image according to different
processing conditions to create any number of JPEG images from it.
With all RAW images, you can use Digital Photo Professional (provided
software, p.410) to make various adjustments and then generate a
JPEG, TIFF, etc., image incorporating those adjustments.
Commercially-available software may not be able to display RAW images.
Using the provided software is recommended.
