About RAW

The RAW image is the data output by the image sensor, converted to digital data and recorded on the card as is. You can select it from among 1, D1, or D2. “RAW” written in the text will refer to all three RAW settings: 1, D1, and D2.

With RAW images, you can use the provided software to make various adjustments as needed. From the RAW image, the software can develop and produce the adjusted image in the desired type such as JPEG or TIFF.

About [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] and RAW or RAW+JPEG images

Although [8C.Fn II -2: High ISO speed noise reduction] (p.176) settings (Standard/Low/Strong/Disable) are applied to the recorded images, the images used for image playback (on the LCD monitor or TV screen) and direct printing (except RAW+73/83) are not applied with noise reduction (noise may be noticeable in the images).

Confirm the noise reduction effects or print noise-reduced images with Digital Photo Professional (provided software).

Commercial software might not be able to display RAW images. Using the provided software is recommended.

Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting

The maximum burst during continuous shooting indicated on the preceding page is the number of continuous shots that can be taken without stopping, based on a formatted 2GB card.

The number is displayed in the viewfinder on the bottom right. If the maximum burst is 99 or higher, “99” will be displayed.
