Title: Do I see RAW, JPEG, or what on my lcd screen? Post by: dentheman on May 14, 2009, 04:11:46 PM Hello, I shoot in RAW and JPEG simultaniously (sp?) with my 40D. My question is: After taking a shot and viewing it in the LCD, am I viewing it as a RAW image, or has the camera done some processing and showing me a JPEG image? Thanks.

We can zoom it many times larger. Title: Re: Do I see RAW, JPEG, or what on my lcd screen? Post by: Bob Atkins on May 15, 2009, 01:24:53 PM You can think of it as showing a JPEG. You can't display a RAW file so what it displays is effectively a JPEG which corresponds to the RAW file processed with the camera's JPEG settings at the time the shot was taken.

That's really what any JPEG is, right? A raw image that has been processed, so it is no longer raw. Thanks for the inputs, you have answered my question.

Raw is not a standard specification as jpeg is so each brand can have their own version and most do. However, both jpeg and raw images include a jpeg exif header file.
