Although the data is compressed when recorded, the original data can be completely restored without any loss of quality, making it possible to obtain high-quality images. Moreover, the RAW image file format is extremely compact, creating files that are approximately one-third to one-quarter the size of an uncompressed file (RGB TIFF). Transmitting in the TIFF 16 Bits / Channel Format When [16 bits per color channel] (supported by the EOS D30 only) is selected as the transmission option for RAW images, images can be transmitted to the application at 16 bits per RGB channel. Although colors are expressed more vividly with the 16-bit setting than the 8-bit setting, the file size increases dramatically. Moreover, some image editing applications function only partially with files of this format or cannot open them at all. Windows 52 Troubleshooting the USB Driver Installation Check This First 1.
