Using RAW FILE CONVERTER LE
Using CCD-RAW files
Software Supplementary Guide
CCD-RAW files shot on the Digital Camera FinePixS2Pro are files that contain image data shot on the digital camera and saved without first undergoing signal processing. Consequently, the content of CCD-RAW files cannot be viewed by ordinary application programs. To work with CCD-RAW files, use the “RAW FILE CONVERTER LE” software bundled with “FinePixViewer” or “RAW FILE CONVERTER EX”, which is included in the optional Hyper-Utility Software HS-S2. The “RAW FILE CONVERTER LE” software converts the data in CCD-RAW files to Exif-TIFF (RGB) files. The Exif-TIFF (RGB) files can then be viewed in ordinary application programs. Also, if you purchase the optional Hyper-Utility Software HS-S2, you can create high­precision image data by using “RAW FILE CONVERTER EX” to specify the parameters used for image data creation and then converting the images to 16-bit TIFF files.
q Copy the CCD-RAW files to your hard disk.
w Select the CCD-RAW files to be converted in FinePixViewer. CCD-RAW files
are indicated by the “ ” or “ ” icon.
e Click the [RAW FILE CONVERTER LE] button with the mouse.
r The “RAW FILE CONVERTER LE” starts up and creates the Exif-TIFF (RGB)
image data file in the same folder that contains the CCD-RAW data.
The Exif-TIFF (RGB) file is created in the same folder as the CCD-RAW file with an underscore (_) and number added to the original file name and the file extension changed to TIF (e.g. DSCF0001_1.TIF). If a file with this name already exists, the number after the underscore is automatically updated (e.g. DSCF0001_2.TIF).
