Canon Special Scene Modes

Hobbyist. Still learning my Canon R7. The family wanted to go to a sunrise easter beach service. I thought as it was on the beach and sunrise, it might make for some nice shots. Because I did not trust myself to choose proper manual setting for the situation (still night, but some building lighting), I choose to try the special setting Handheld Night Shooting where it takes 4 shots and combines them. It wasn't until well after editing them, that I realized they were shot JPG by the camera instead of my c-RAW setting. I could not find anything in the manual about the camera using jpgs in the special setting. Just out of curiosity, is it because of taking 4 shots (and RAW may be too much data) it shoots jpg?

BTW was thrilled at the quality of the shots. One of the shots after posting, was chosen by the local paper for the first page story on the event. A few of the shots are attached.

Very nice!

This manual says raw isn't available for that mode:

https://cam.start.canon/en/C005/manual/html/UG-02_BasicShooting_0030.html

The exact page wouldn't copy/paste correctly. I did search for "raw special scene." It was on second page of results:

Of course, consulting the manual is a logical first step to investigate this processing and camera model.

If one thinks about the process, one might recognize the camera's 'processing' of multiple images won't yield a RAW file, but rather a JPEG. The RAW is literally the unprocessed sensor data. Merging multiple images, say the HDR process or similar, is no longer the RAW sensor data. Hence, the processed JPEG output.

Very nice photo's.

Adding to what Linda posted, you can still edit these photo's in a jpg editor, plus, you can also load them into a RAW editor and have all the raw editing tools you are use to using available. RAW photo's have a bit more range available, but jpg editors can do amazing work for you as well.
