Reviewing and editing
Using the RAW Develop feature
In P, A, S, M, Sport, Portrait, and SCN modes, you can take pictures as the RAW file
type. A RAW file is not compressed, offers greater dynamic range, and contains more
color information. The RAW Develop feature lets you develop, edit (picture size,
quality, exposure compensation, color mode, sharpness, and white balance), and save
RAW files as Fine, Standard, or Basic. (The original RAW file is preserved.)
You can edit RAW files in KODAK EASYSHARE Software.
1 Press the Review button, then to find a picture.
