Selects the file type for RAW images.
-
MENU → (Shooting) → [Image Quality/Rec] → [RAW File Type] → desired setting.
Menu item details
- Uncompressed:
- Records images in uncompressed RAW format. When [Uncompressed] is selected for [RAW File Type], the file size of the image will be larger than if it were recorded in [Lossless Comp] or [Compressed].
- Lossless Comp (L)/Lossless Comp (M)/Lossless Comp (S):
- Records images in lossless compression format with high compression ratio without deterioration of image quality*. The file size of the image will be smaller than if it were recorded in [Uncompressed].
- You can select L/M/S as the image size. The number of pixels after development using a Sony application is the same as the L/M/S size for JPEG/HEIF images.
- The L size can be selected only when shooting in full frame. When shooting in the M or S size, the pixel number does not change for full-frame shooting or APS-C-size shooting.
* The M size and S size reduce the image size, so the image resolution will be lower than that of the L size.
- Compressed:
- Records images in compressed RAW format. The file size of the image will be approximately half of that with [Uncompressed].
Hint
- Icons for RAW file type are displayed as follows:
- Uncompressed:
- Lossless compression L/M/S:
- Compressed:
- The aspect ratio for RAW images is always 3:2. When recording a RAW image and a JPEG or HEIF image at the same time, the JPEG or HEIF image will be recorded with the value set in [Aspect Ratio].
