Recording Pictures in RAW Format

Creating JPEG Copies of RAW Pictures

RAW pictures store information on camera settings separately from the data captured by the camera image sensor. Using the jRAW CONVERSION option in the playback menu, you can create JPEG copies of RAW pictures using different options for the settings listed below. The original image data are unaffected, allowing a single RAW image to be processed in a multitude of different ways.

1 Press MENU/OK during playback to display the playback menu, then press the command dial up or down to highlight jRAW CONVERSION and press MENU/OK to display the settings listed in the table at right.

RThese options can also be displayed by pressing Q during playback.

2 Press the command dial up or down to highlight a

setting and press the command dial right to select. Press the command dial up

or down to highlight the desired option and press MENU/OK to select and return to the settings list. Repeat this step to adjust additional settings.

3 Press the Q button to preview the JPEG copy and press MENU/OK to save.
