A RAW image is raw data output by the image sensor converted to 
digital data. It is recorded to the card as is, and you can select the 
quality as follows:  1, 41 , or 61 .
A  1  image can be processed with [ 31: RAW image processing] 
(p.364) and saved as a JPEG image. ( 41 and 61  images cannot 
be processed with the camera.) As the RAW image itself does not 
change, you can process the RAW image according to different 
processing conditions to create any...

24.0 mm (full-frame shooting). You can record only the center of the 
image magnified approx. 1.3x (equivalent to APS-H size) or approx. 
1.6x (equivalent to APS-C size) as  if you were using a telephoto lens 
(crop shooting) or set the desired aspect ratio before you shoot.

 [8 3: Add cropping information ] can be set only when [Full-frame] 
has been set for Crop/aspect ratio.
 An external Speedlite’s flash zoom (automatic flash coverage) will not 
work in tandem with the [ z4: Crop/aspect ratio ] setting.

As H (equivalent to ISO 12800) is an expanded ISO speed setting, noise 
(dots of light, banding, etc.) and irregular colors will be more noticeable, 
and the resolution lower than usual.
 As L (equivalent to ISO 50) is an expanded ISO speed setting, the 
dynamic range will be somewhat narrower than usual.
 If [z 3: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable] (p.187), L (equivalent

If the ISO speed is set to “ A” (Auto), the 
actual ISO speed to be set will be 
displayed when you press the shutter 
button halfway.
As indicated below, the ISO speed will 
be set automatically to suit the shooting 
mode.
*1: The actual ISO speed range depends on the [ Minimum] and [Maximum ] 
settings set in [ Auto ISO range ].
*2: If fill flash will cause overexposure , ISO speed may be reduced, down to a 
possible minimum of ISO 100 (except in the < a> and  modes).
