■■About RAW file

In RAW file format the data is saved without any picture processing by the camera. It provides higher picture quality than the JPEG format, but the amount of data is larger. You can use Ichikawa Soft Laboratory’s “SILKYPIX Developer Studio SE” to save RAW file format pictures in file formats (JPEG, TIFF, etc.) that can be displayed on a PC, etc., and to perform advanced editing such as correcting the white balance of pictures recorded previously.

Download “SILKYPIX Developer Studio SE” from website and install it on your computer to use. For details on how to download the software, etc., refer to (→287).
