About RAWRAW format refers to the original format of data that is not im age-processed on the unit.
The Playback screen of this unit plays back simplified thumbnai ls within the RA W image. Accordingly, the image 
is displayed rough and has a low enlargement factor.
Special software is needed in the computer to edit RAW images.
Using the dedicated software, you can perform advanced editing,  such as a
 djusting the White Balance after 
taking a picture. The software  also allows you to save pictures  in file formats that can display them on a PC 
(JPEG, TIFF, etc.). Pictures taken in RAW format will have high er image quality than those taken in JPEG format, 
but the data size will be larger.
≥ To develop or edit RAW files on a computer, use “SILKYPIX Devel oper S
