Regardless of the aspect ratio of the picture during recording, a RAW still picture is always 

recorded at the following aspect ratio.

: [3:2] (5472×3648)

: [4:3] (4896×3672)

In RAW file format the data is saved without any picture processing by the camera. To 

play back and edit RAW file pictures, you must use this unit or dedicated software.

You can perform advanced editing of RAW file pictures, such as correcting the White 

Balance of pictures recorded previously, and save the pictures in file formats that can be 

displayed on a PC. This format delivers a higher picture quality than the JPEG format, but 

the amount of data is greater.

You can develop the RAW file pictures using [RAW Processing] in the [Playback] menu.
