abstract:A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, image scanner, or motion picture film scanner. Raw files are named so because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
RAW: Afileformat for digitalphotographs that is uncompressed and largelyunmodifiedby the camera'schips, and thereforeincludeseverydetailof thecolorandimage.
The powerful processor can output image data in 14-bit RAWformat, giving advanced users total freedom to express their creative vision throughout the shooting and post-production processes.
