.RAW images is a photo image format that saves the picture in an essentially “raw” format. This means no changes have been made that are available in the camera settings, such as lighting adjustments or the white balance. This gives you more control over the quality of your image once printed or saved in the digital format. The Canon digital SLR cameras automatically save images in the CR2 format. Converting .CR2 to the .RAW image format requires settings adjustments available on the camera. Writer Bio
