"JPEG+RAW" setting gives 2 .raf files, no .jpg. [Update] Must choose one format or the other; to get both, have to export paired .rafs to PC, then convert there. FastStone and Irfanview (free) are good for conversions, as is supplied Silkypix software....

I bought and returned this camera for much the same reasons. Also, though it says that it has a viewfinder it is just a mini screen that causes problems for those wearing vision correction. The capacity for following and responding rapidly to animals or birds is poor. The RAW files were hard to open with photoshop. I loved the idea of the 700mm lens but functional and set-up glitches made me send it back.

The camera itself saves pictures in a ".JPG" format...... you can view this format with MAC. The CD that comes with the camera (on which is the camera's manual and a program for viewing 'time laps' pictures says it is for a "PC" (Windows XP-Vista-7). I would check on Browning's website to see if they have a MAC verstion for that software. But you don't need that software to view the pictures on your computer.Jim

I have not found a way to do this (RAW .rw2 in iA mode). It records RAW fine in P and probably A, S, and M.

When using HDR it can only save in jpg format. You'd have to use exposure bracketing & software if you want to use RAW files.

I'm using it on Vista. Certain image formats seem to have difficulty copying, but .JPG is no problem. I haven't tested it with all audio/video formats but have incurred no problems.

Yes, the D3200 will Save in RAW (12 Bit), and also in RAW + JPG simultaneously if wanted. Settings are remembered when the camera is turned off. Image Quality Settings are easy to access via the Info Screen (without having to navigate any menus) and/or you can assign the "FN" Button (programmable) to quickly switch between RAW, RAW+JPG, and the various JPG Quality Modes.

Raw files aren't compatible with app. You can manually import them to a computer as you would with an ordinary sd card, but jpegs only for wireless transfer.

Hi Bob, I want to know that answer also as I'm interested in using the Zen Vision as a photo bank for my Nikon DSLR's. I went to the Creative webpage and couldn't find anything about RAW file compatability, so I left an email asking the question if the Zen would diplay a RAW file or not. I'll let you know what they say if I get a reply. Steve Smith stephen.smith.ctr@diego.af.mil

Do the unrecognized files have an extension (.jpg, .gif, etc.) and what type of camera? Some cameras can shoot and store photos in multiple formats at the same time. I usually shoot in Nikon RAW format (.nef) and .jpg. Without the correct software, you may not be able to view the alternate file format. Formatting the card should clear it of the current files.

Per their manual - Only 800x600 or lower resolution images in JPG format (baseline coding) are supported. you get the message "The image file is not supported by this device."

Heather; I'm pretty sure it doesn't shoot in RAW but is a sweet little pocket camera that takes a wide variety of great shots. What a deal as a refurb! For my purposes I've been able to minupulate files as much as I need to through photoshop elements without RAW format. Gary

John - RAW files are not, repeat, not intended to be presentable images. A RAW image is just what it sounds like, a file with electron count of each red, green, blue filtered pixel stored. You are supposed to process (e.g., white balance/color correct) to get a presentable image. You can do this processing later in your computer (Canon probably supplied you with some software or else you can buy, for example, Photoshop Elements) OR you can let your camera do it automatically - which is what is happening when you use the JPG image option. Virtually all cameras provide a JPG output and most cameras that offer RAW images also offer a RAW+JPG option. That latter being useful for getting most pictures ready to use directly out of the camera while having the ability to do post processing on the images that need special attention. NOTE: JPG is a lossy file storage format. Thus, if you try to post process the JPG image you lose a little image quality each time you save it. That's why you do your post processing on the RAW file - nothing was "lost".

I would suggest go with one above 10 MB/sec though. If you want to choose options RAW or RAW+JPEG that matters, atleast I saw the difference between my 6MB/sec card vs 20MB/sec card. But I do not think you need more than 10MB/sec.RAW images is approx 10-11MB, and plus JPG is about 2.5MB, so it has to write total 12.5MB for each photo in RAW+JPG.

The raw footage is in .mts, I use Handbrake (free software) to convert the files into the type that I want. Not a big hassle, I am guessing that the raw files are in a .mts format as it is uncompressed.

Yes. You can save RAW files in either DNG (digital negative) or Pentax's PEF format. The K200D has the option of saving RAW+JPEG. I have been saving RAW (DNG) + JPEG but Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 works so well with DNG that I've changed to RAW only.

Do you need to use sdcopy to get it onto your computer? If I used the imagemixer software to get it on my computer, how can I convert it to another file type? I have such simple requirements - my in laws want a copy of a video that I took. I don't want to have to install my image mixer software just so that they can watch it. It just doesn't make sense. I need more instruction. Can someone spell it out with little baby steps?

I no longer have the Pentax *ist, so I cannot recall exactly what page in the camera's menu settings you need to go. Please check the manual for setting what you shoot in - JPEG, RAW, and/or RAW+. Sounds as if you want to set it to RAW. It is considered to be a step better than just JPEG. Having image files in RAW format creates much more data in an image's file, so this allows us to have more flexibility in tweaking and improving much of the data that goes into creating a photograph through applications such as Photo Elements, iPhoto, Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. If you do not have the manual - which is an important read before even turning on a camera - check online in the Pentax (now Ricoh) webpage - or the very helpful, informative, and interesting www.pentaxforums.com. Good luck!
