What is Canon RAW?
A camera RAW format developed into raster pixels by a compatible decoder; camera and compression variants affect support.
Server conversion requires a compatible engine we host and a verified file variant.
Technical details
Camera RAW stores minimally processed sensor samples plus camera-specific metadata; rendering normally requires interpreting the mosaic and color calibration. [1]
Background and compatibility
The Library of Congress groups these as camera-raw families: manufacturer-specific variants differ, and DNG is an interchange profile rather than a universal synonym for native RAW. [1]
