A RAW format file is raw data that has not been through any kind of digital processing.
RAW files are different from more general file formats such a s JPEG files, and contain raw
material to be processed for professional purposes.
You need the “Image Data Converter” software included on the CD-ROM (supplied) in
order to open a RAW image recorded on this camera. With this software, a RAW image can
be opened and converted to a common format, such as JPEG or TIFF, and you can readjust
its white balance, color saturation, contrast, etc.
