RAW format
I've got a Fuji S7000 which has an optional RAW setting.
Haven't used it yet as on max resolution it wants 12 to 13Mb of memory. What are the advantages of RAW over .jpg's ? Thanks mark b |

Thanks mark b In a few words, it's lossless format. Uncompressed picture format (instead of JPEG's). Pretty "heavy" files, useful especially for professionals. Look at this as WAV against MP3, or VOB against AVI (DivX). Cheers |

RAW data from the sensor, with no in-camera processing (contrast, saturation, sharpening, etc.) -- Frank ess |
