About RAW
RAW format refers to the original format of data that is not image-processed on the
camera. Playback and Editing of RAW images require dedicated software.
Using the dedicated software, you can perform advanced editing, such as adjusting the
White Balance after taking a picture. The software also allows you to save pictures in
file formats that can display them on a PC (JPEG, TIFF, etc.). Pictures taken in RAW
format will have higher image quality than those taken in JPEG format, but the data size
will be larger.
• Use software (“SILKYPIX Developer Studio” by Ichikawa Soft Laboratory) to process and
edit RAW files on a PC. Download it from a website
to install it on your PC.
