Please excuse this enquiry if it has been asked and answered before by
others on the list.
The E500 can operate in RAW mode. The *.ORF files in my E500 are ~14.2 mb in
size.
I can then upload the ORF files to my computer using the Olympus Master
software that came with the camera.
Once in the computer I can process the ORF files with the Olympus Master
software ["RAW processing"] making changes for colour temperatures,
sharpness, white balance, colour saturation, etc.
Thereafter I save the files either as TIF, JPEG, etc. The TIF files are
usually ~23mb in size which is the same size as if the E500 had been set to
record in TIF mode at the outset.
I would like to know whether the ORF, RAW processing and saving as TIF
routine will produce a TIF file that is, or can be, measureably better than
the TIF file had the camera been set to record in TIF at the outaset.
An obvious benefit of recording in ORF / RAW mode is that one can get more
images on one's memory card than by shooting in TIF mode.
