RAW image data
RAW image data are raw data that have yet to be processed to create a photograph.
RAW fi les are generally used when you wish to modify the pictures after shooting
or to save the unmodifi ed data for later use. RAW images have the fi le extension
“.ORF” and can not be displayed on cameras made by other manufacturers, viewed
in general-purpose software, or selected for printing. The camera can be used to
edit RAW data and create JPEG copies. g “Editing still images” (P. 63)
