A major new addition to the GoPro HERO5 Black is the ability to shoot RAW photos. A RAW photo takes all the information the camera sensor sees and writes it into the file. When is it better to shoot RAW over JPEG? In this video, author Richard Harrington discusses the benefits of shooting RAW with your GoPro HERO5 Black.
- A huge new addition on the GoPro Hero5…is the ability to shoot RAW photos…on the Black series camera.…Now, a RAW photo is not really a file type,…but it's more of a style of photograph.…A RAW photo takes all of the data seen by the camera sensor…and writes it into the digital file,…unlike a JPEG, which typically throws away up to 95%…of the original data before writing to the memory card.…Now, this means that RAW photos…tend to be anywhere from 10 to 15 times bigger…than their JPEG counterparts, but this is a good thing.…
Now, fortunately, cards are cheap, and this means that…if you capture these higher quality files,…you'll actually have the ability to store…a lot more information.…This is going to make it super easy…to recover details in the highlights.…For example, pulling back information in clouds,…or lift something up in the shadows…without it getting all grainy.…Plus, control over things like noise…is going to be a lot easier.…Now, in order to process these RAW photos,…you're really going to want to take advantage of something…
