About RAW file
In RAW file format the data is saved without any picture processing by the
camera. This format delivers a higher picture quality than the JPEG format,
but the amount of data is greater. To play back and edit RAW file pictures, you
must use this unit or dedicated software. You can perform advanced editing of
RAW file pictures, such as correcting the White Balance of pictures recorded
previously, and save the pictures in file formats that can be displayed on a PC.
• You can develop the RAW file pictures using [RAW Processing] in the
[Playback] menu. For details, refer to "Operating Instructions for advanced
features (PDF format)".
• To develop and edit RAW file pictures on a PC, use the supplied DVD
software (Ichikawa Soft Laboratory's "SILKYPIX Developer Studio").
