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.
You can make advanced adjustments by editing RAW images. For ex ample, you can 
adjust the White Balance after taking pictures or save them in  file formats that are 
capable of displaying them on a PC. Pictures taken in RAW format will have higher 
image quality than those taken in JPEG format, but the data siz e will be larger.
•
You can process RAW images in [RAW Processing] in the [Playback ] menu.
•To process and edit RAW files on a PC, use the software “SILKYPIX Developer Studio” by 
Ichikawa Soft Laboratory on the DVD (supplied).
