What is M raw and S RAW in canon?

As you can see, Canon’s sRAW and mRAW files are simply down-sampled images from the original full-resolution RAW files. Except you would have the full RAW file data to work with in wide gamut color space, while sRAW actually strips out a lot of information. So sRAW is actually not anything like the original RAW file!

Why should you shoot in RAW?

RAW provides far more image information, allowing you to capture more detail and greater dynamic range from your camera sensor. Whereas JPEG files are processed by the camera (resulting in a loss of color data), RAW files are unprocessed and contain more color data for you to work with during the editing process.

What is RAW setting on camera?

A camera RAW image is an unprocessed photograph captured with a digital camera. The raw files are unprocessed, allowing the photographer to adjust settings like exposure, white balance, and saturation after the image has been captured.

Is raw really better than JPEG?

With a raw file, you have complete control over white balance when editing the image. The same is true of darker, underexposed images. Shadow detail that is irretrievably lost in a JPEG can often be more successfully recovered in a raw file. Noise reduction can be more effectively applied to a raw file than a JPEG.
