Setting the Image-Recording Quality
144
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.390) 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.512) to
process RAW images. You can make various adjustments to images
depending upon how they will be used and generate JPEG, TIFF, or
other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.
RAW Images

If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be recorded
simultaneously to the card in both RAW and JPEG at the image-
recording 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
(Middle RAW),
61
(Small RAW), JPEG,
7
(Fine),
8
(Normal),
3
(Large),
4
(Middle),
6
(Small).
