looks like, so far, that sx50hs will not yield raw(cr2) files for auto mode, sports mode, scene modes
any ideas on how to get raw in especially these modes ... auto, sports, scene
thanks for your advice
The Canon manual on pages 146 and 275 give you all the info you need about the RAW function in the SX50. When this is selected, here are the limits imposed on the camera:
digital zoom set to OFF, date stamp set to OFF, red-eye reduction set to OFF. In addition, i-Contrast, My Colors, and Noise Reduction cannot be configured. A simple deduction of the limits imposed on each of these six functions should tell you what modes you can shoot in. You should investigate this yourself so that you'll know firsthand exactly what your SX50 can do.
