What is a MDC file?
MDC is a proprietary RAW image format used exclusively by the Minolta RD‑175 digital SLR camera from the mid-1990s. It stores unprocessed image data from a unique triple-CCD sensor system, which the camera combines internally to produce a single high-resolution image.
Unlike standard RAW formats, MDC lacks typical EXIF metadata and follows a custom structure optimized for Minolta’s original processing tools. While innovative in its time, the format is now considered obsolete and requires special handling for modern workflows.
How to open MDC files
MDC files can be opened using Minolta’s original software via a TWAIN driver, which allows importing images from the camera’s PCMCIA card. Once imported, files can be saved as TIFF, BMP, or JPEG for editing or archiving.
You can also convert MDC files to more widely supported formats like JPG or PNG using AnyConv, making them easier to view and share across modern platforms without relying on legacy software.
