About RAW images
• To open a RAW image file recorded with this camera, the software
Imaging Edge (page 202) is needed. With Imaging Edge, you can open
a RAW image file, then convert it into a popular image format such as
JPEG or TIFF, or readjust the white balance, saturation or contrast of the
image.
• You cannot apply [Auto HDR] or [Picture Effect] functions with RAW
images.
• RAW images recorded with this camera have a resolution of 14 bits per
pixel. However, the resolution may be limited to 12 bits in the following
shooting modes:
– [ Long Exposure NR]
– [BULB]

• You can set whether RAW images are compressed or uncompressed
using [ RAW File Type].
Note
• If you do not intend to edit the images on your computer, we recommend that
you record in JPEG format.
