p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Actual File Size For Crop Shooting in Raw Mode | |
So I saw this mentioned in passing in a forum, and I just tried to read about it in the manual, but it is still confusing me.
So the question is, when shooting RAW, and selecting any of the crop shooting modes (1.3, 1.6, square) is it creating a smaller file or not? It seems like it would, but now I am not sure. Maybe that is only a feature of shooting jpeg? If the file size is saved the same and only the fact that the crop setting was used is saved in the metadata, then I guess this is really only a feature that changes the viewfinder view in composing and the amount of the image shown on the back LCD? Seems like a strange way to do it. I think saving card space with actually smaller files would have made a lot of sense. Perhaps this is why the fps rates don't go up when cropping?
Can someone enlighten me about this feature? It is far from a show stopper, but still seems like a lost opportunity if they don't save smaller RAWS using this feature.
