Setting Image Quality 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 or F. F produces RAW images with smaller file sizes than 1. RAW images can be processed using [3: RAW image processing] (=325) and saved as JPEG images. (Just as for 1, all JPEG size options are available for F.) As the RAW image itself does not change, you can process the RAW image to create any number of JPEG images with various processing conditions. You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to process RAW images. You can make various adjustments to images depending upon how they will be used and can generate JPEG or other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments. RAW Image Processing Software ooTo display RAW images on a computer, using Digital Photo Professional (hereafter DPP, EOS software) is recommended. ooPrevious versions of DPP Ver.4.x cannot process RAW images taken with this camera. If a previous version of DPP Ver.4.x is installed on your computer, obtain and install the latest version of DPP from the Canon website to update it (=554). (The previous version will be overwritten.) Note that DPP Ver.3.x or earlier cannot process RAW images taken with this camera. ooCommercially available software may not be able to display RAW images taken with this camera. For compatibility information, contact the software manufacturer. Guidelines for Choosing Image Quality For guidelines on file sizes, number of possible shots, and maximum burst shots, see =583. 117
