Please help me understand. So many photography terms seem to be used in different ways.
In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi, "from a certain point of view", all digital cameras shoot in RAW or Raw or raw (whatever is correct), because that is what the sensor sees. What the camera's processor does with that information that it sends to the recording medium determines if it is recorded as RAW or JEPG high or low, or BOTH.
Maybe I'm confused.
The original question is, what do you shoot?
I am aware that some cameras can be set up to save RAW on one card and Jpeg on a second card. It is my understanding that some can be set up to save both RAW and Jpeg on the same card. But this is saving the file to the SD card, not shooting.
Depending on what camera I'm using; RAW is not an option for the SX710HS. Otherwise I try to shoot in RAW. At least I have tried to set things up that way. What my XSi and RP actually save to the SD card sometimes surprises me.
Which brings me to this: I have asked the following question before because I have not found a clear explanation, and I have not received an answer from anyone on UHH. Is there a specific way, or group of settings to use, to shoot RAW?
Does setting ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and anything else negate RAW?
So, what do I shoot? With one camera only JEPG. With another camera , RAW, I think. So to answer the posted question, BOTH.
Or is my logic flawed?
I'm Trying to learn.

Tes, you sgould reply "both".
Also, "shooting" and "saving" are a single. act. Maybe deep inside the workings of technology those are separate steps in a sequence. But they are one human act, so YOU shoot jpeg or raw. Your human action, what YOU do, is what the poll is asking about.
