About RAW A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to digital data. The image data is recorded to the card as is, and you can select the quality as follows: 1, 41, or 61. A 1 image can be processed with [32: RAW image processing] (p.290) and saved as a JPEG image. (41 and 61 images cannot be processed with the camera.) While the RAW image itself does not change, you can process the RAW image according to different processing conditions to create any number of JPEG images from it. With all RAW images, you can use Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.410) to make various adjustments and then generate a JPEG, TIFF, etc., image incorporating those adjustments. Commercially-available software may not be able to display RAW images. Using the provided software is recommended. 125
