| 🔸 Description | The Canon RAW version 2 (cr2) format is a RAW format created by Canon for storing digital images. This does not contain a ready-to-view picture like a JPG or PNG file. Instead, it is used to store information directly coming from the sensor. You can choose to store your pictures in RAW format, which gives you the benefit of doing a lot of post-processing on the file. If you tried to do this with JPEG, this would be difficult and likely result in a quality loss. | A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, image scanner, or motion picture film scanner. Raw files are named so because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor. |
| 🔸 Technical details | RAW files are the best quality to size ratio that a photograph can be stored in, primarily because each color is recorded in either 12 or 14 bits, and lossless compression is used. The CR2 takes over from Canon's previous format - CRW and is used by the Canon 350D, 1D, G9, and 20D models. | Raw files contain the information required to produce a viewable image from the camera's sensor data. The structure of raw files often follows a common pattern: a short file header, camera sensor metadata, an image thumbnail, sensor image data, etc. |
