Technical Guide (RAW Video Recording Edition)

4
RAW video is a video file that is output directly from the
camera’s image sensor without any in-camera image
processing (RGB data before demosaicing)*. Like RAW still
images, RAW video files record rich image information
(tonal gradation, etc.), meaning they offer greater flexibility
in color grading compared to Log video or video recorded
in-camera. This makes them ideal for shoots where post-
production is going to be required.
* Noise reduction, lens aberration compensation and electronic VR
are generally performed by in-camera processing. Since RAW video
files are not subject to in-camera processing, users need to apply
these adjustments as necessary during post-production, by using
third-party software.
