3 Setting the Image-recording Quality About the RAW Format The RAW format assumes that the image will undergo post-processing with a personal computer. Special knowledge is required, but you can use the bundled software to obtain the desired effect. images are processed according to the white balance, color space, and processing parameters set at the time of shooting. Image processing refers to adjusting the RAW image's white balance, contrast, etc., to create the final image. Note that direct printing and print ordering (DPOF) will not work with RAW images.

The actual single image size, number of possible shots, and maximum burst will vary depending on the subject, shooting mode, ISO speed, parameters, etc. ¡ In the case of monochrome images (p.59), the file size will be smaller so the number of possible shots will be higher. ¡ On the top LCD panel, you can check the remaining number of images the CF card can record. ¡ A different image-recording quality can be set separately for the Basic Zone modes and Creative Zone modes. 47
