About RAW images
To open a RAW image file recorded with this camera, the software Imaging Edge 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 shot by the camera are recorded in the compressed RAW format.
Note
If you do not intend to edit the images on your computer, we recommend that you record in JPEG format.
You cannot add DPOF (print order) registration marks to RAW images.
