What are RAW files?

Photos captured by a camera are often transformed to JPEG format and stored in the memory according to the settings of the camera at the time of shooting. RAW files are not transformed to JPEG format and are stored in the memory without any changes. RAW files have the file extension “SRW”

(For example:“SAM_0001.SRW”).

To adjust and calibrate exposures, white balances, tones, contrasts, and colors of the RAW files, use the Samsung RAW Converter program supplied in the software CD-ROM.
