About RAW file
In RAW file format the data is saved without any picture processing by the camera. To
play back and edit RAW file pictures, you must use this unit or dedicated software.
You can perform advanced editing of RAW file pictures, such as correcting the White
Balance of pictures recorded previously, and save the pictures in file formats that can be
displayed on a PC. This format delivers a higher picture quality than the JPEG format, but
the amount of data is greater.
