is greater. 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.
