• Shooting RAW images is only possible on cameras that support RAW format. For
details, refer to the camera user guide.
• Only RAW images supported by Digital Photo Professional can be processed by the
program. Be sure to refer to the camera user guide.
• A more detailed description of operations is available in the Digital Photo
Professional Instruction Manual, which EOS camera users can view from the
included CD-ROM and other users can download from the Canon website.
RAW Images Defined
RAW image files contain the unmodified data captured by the camera image sensor. Unlike
ordinary JPEG images, the data is essentially “raw” (unadjusted and uncompressed), which
enables image processing (conversion) on a computer with no loss of image quality.
