This information is what is recorded in a RAW file, and but you would have to post-process it to be able to recover and see the details. The CMOS image sensor on your EOS camera captures and outputs contains a much larger colour space and bit depth than a JPEG file-14-bit colour information, to be precise. How much colour information can RAW, JPEG and HEIF capture? Even if your image contained more colour information than this colour space and bit depth, it would not make any difference to what you see on the screen because your monitor would not be able to display them. The difference between RAW, JPEG and HEIFĬolour space, bit depth and what it means for youĬolour space: The range of colours that can be represented or displayedīit depth: The number of unique shades of colours that can be represented or displayedĬonventional TV and computer monitors generally all share a uniform colour space and bit depth. But the colour space and dynamic range of 8-bit JPEG doesn’t take advantage of what the new HDR monitors can offer. For this reason, images shown on a HDR monitor look more realistic, as though you were seeing the scene with your own eyes.ĭigital images are mostly stored in JPEG format because it can be displayed on just about any display device, including older ones. These monitors use a colour technology that enables them to display a wider range of colours and contrasts than conventional SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) monitors, which also means that they can show the details in light and dark areas more faithfully. HDR (High Dynamic Range) monitors have become more widespread in recent years.
Being popular has its downsides-display devices keep improving, but the JPEG format has not quite evolved to keep up. JPEG is one of the most widely used formats for digital images especially photographs, but it was first created in 1992. If the data on the colours and tones of an image that is captured by your image sensor is not within the range of what your display device can show, then you won’t be able to see the image accurately. What you can see when you display the shot on a monitor matters too. When we talk about still shooting features on a camera, one thing that we sometimes tend to forget is that photos are not just about what you manage to record as data. Photography is not just about what you can capture. But what if we said that these alone are not enough to reflect the camera’s true capabilities? It’s evident that the images shot with the EOS-1D X Mark III will be clearer and sharper than before.
