3 Setting the Image-Recording Quality If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded simultaneously to the card in both RAW and JPEG at the imagerecording qualities that were set. The two images will be recorded with the same file numbers (file extension: .JPG for JPEG and .CR2 for RAW). The image-recording quality icons are as follows: 1 (RAW), 41 (Medium RAW), 61 (Small RAW), JPEG (JPEG), 7 (Fine), 8 (Normal), 3 (Large), 4 (Medium), and 6 (Small). RAW Images A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to digital data. It 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 [31: RAW image processing] (p.398) and saved as a JPEG image. (41 and 61 images cannot be processed with the camera.) As 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. You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.536) to process RAW images. You can make various adjustments as desired and generate a JPEG, TIFF, etc., image incorporating those adjustments. RAW Image Processing Software To display RAW images on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional (DPP, EOS software) is recommended. Previous versions of DPP may not be able to process RAW images taken with this camera. If your computer has a previous version of DPP, update it with the EOS DIGITAL Solution Disk CD-ROM provided with this camera. (The previous version will be overwritten.) Commercially-available software may not be able to display RAW images taken with this camera. For compatibility information, contact the software manufacturer. 152
