Setting the Image-Recording Quality
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 [
3
1: RAW image processing ]
(p.446) 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 to create any number of
JPEG images with various processing conditions.
You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.598) to
process RAW images. You can make various adjustments to images
depending upon how they will be used and can generate JPEG, TIFF, or
other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.
