Question about raw+jpeg
Feb 20, 2017 08:30:43 #
Pardon my LOK (lack of knowledge) but when I shoot raw+jpeg does the camera shoot 2 separate images or 1 raw image and convert it to jpeg in camera? The manual does not answer this question.

It only takes one raw image and records it, but it also records a processed jpg version of that same image.

Cameras never shoot JPEG! A JPEG is always generated from RAW data. Hence there is no need to make two exposures to get RAW+JPEG. And in fact if you shoot just RAW the camera still generates a JPEG for preview on the camera, and that JPEG is embedded in the RAW file too so that a conversion need not be done to preview what the image is.

Not really. It couldn't answer your question.
