Note on RAW

RAW format refers to a data format of images that have not been processed on the camera.

Playback and editing of RAW images require the camera or the dedicated software.

– You can process RAW images on the camera. ( character_reference [RAW Processing])

– Use software (“SILKYPIX Developer Studio” by Ichikawa Soft Laboratory) to process and edit RAW files on a PC. ( character_reference SILKYPIX Developer Studio SE)

– Pictures taken with [RAW] cannot be displayed enlarged to the maximum magnification during playback.

Take pictures with [RAW character_plus_regular FINE] or [RAWSTD.] if you want to check their focus on the camera after recording.

RAW images are always recorded in the [L] size of the [4:3] aspect ratio.

When you delete an image recorded with [RAW character_plus_regular FINE] or [RAWSTD.] on the camera, both the RAW and JPEG images will be deleted simultaneously.

When the following functions are being used, [Picture Quality] is not available:

– [6K/4K PHOTO]/[Post-Focus]

– [Multiple Exposure]
