Selecting Image Quality (Record Mode) (continued) RAW Data Shooting Data output straight from the CCD is in the format 10 bits/channel. This data, called RAW data, is saved as a file with an ".orf" file extension. Because a file with the ".orf" extension is a special file, it cannot be used by most software applications. However, files saved in RAW data format can be restored and displayed with either of the two special software applications: CAMEDIA Master 2.5 or higher If you use CAMEDIA Master 2.5 or higher to display a RAW data file, every bit of the image will be restored automatically to its original state (8-bit per color), just as it was when the picture was taken. Plug-in Software (included in the Software CD) The plug-in for Photoshop enables Photoshop users to restore and display RAW data files in the following three ways: • Restore and display each color with 16-bit data without using any of the features and settings in effect when the picture was taken. • Restore and display each color with 16-bit data but only with the WB (White Balance) setting in effect when the picture was taken. • Restore and display each color with 16-bit data by using all of the features and settings in effect when the picture was taken. Note The size of the saved RAW data is about 10 MB. 110
