About RAW

RAW format refers to a data format of images that have not been processed. Playback

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

and edit RAW files on a PC.

• When you delete an image recorded with [ ] or [ ], both the RAW and JPEG

images will be deleted simultaneously.

• When you play back an image recorded with [ ], gray areas corresponding to the aspect

ratio at the time of recording are displayed.
