94 About the RAW Image Format The camera uses two standard image file formats: JPEG and RAW. In JPEG mode, the camera processes images after capturing them to produce optimal results. With this format, images are compressed so more can be stored on a single CF card. However, the compression is irreversible, meaning that the original image data cannot be recovered after processing. In contrast, the RAW format records the image data as captured by the camera’s CMOS without further processing.
