does it shoot in raw?

No. The files it shoots are JPG, MP4, MOV, MPO (3d still pictures), and AVCHD.imo, the photoedit software now can do so much with jpg that you are not benefit much with RAW. My Canon xti can shoot raw and jpg, I looked up all the things I can do with raw vs jpg. I concluded that as long as the jpg is max size the camera can capture, it's as good as raw with small file size benefit (cause jpg have compression).hope I answered your question.

No. Only the more expensive cams do that. But you can enable retouch in the menu then you will see a yellow up arrow in the lower left corner of the review screen. Press that and you get a number of variations in manual retouch. Automatic retouch may improve the exposure.Not what you wanted to be able to do in Photoshop, I know. But if you set the shooting parameters to standard you will be able to modify the JPEG the most possible.You will have to jump to a higher class of Panasonic cam (it IS a great brand) which has RAW. Other than lacking that, the ZS19 is a excellent cam in its class. No. Only the more expensive cams do that.

Heather; I'm pretty sure it doesn't shoot in RAW but is a sweet little pocket camera that takes a wide variety of great shots. What a deal as a refurb! For my purposes I've been able to minupulate files as much as I need to through photoshop elements without RAW format. Gary

No. And No. If you do a little research "raw" is not actually raw anyway due to the heat involved in processing.

No, it does not. Shutter speed is a big problem; it's fine for still shots not action shots and Auto doesn't help.

Serious photographers shoot RAW, but most people just use JPEG because it is much easier, no post processing. I am glad to hear of the bright mode (in automatic I always shoot JPEG, in manual modes I always shoot RAW or lossless compressed pics).Overall the comments in this thread ease my fears of dpreview's complaint about JPEG quality. This is definitely my next camera.

When shooting RAW, you don't have a choice. The files will be in whatever RAW format the camera uses. However, it's easy to download the free "Adobe DNG Converter" which you can use to batch convert the camera's RAW to a "digital negative" ("DNG") that can be read by Lightroom, Photoshop, and as far as I know any other program. I have been using the DNG converter for years with various cameras including Nikon, Panasonic, Fuji and Pentax. Much better than most of the other alternatives, and far better than clogging up your hard drive with clunky proprietary programs. The Adobe DNG Converter is like an independent app on your desktop and it's a piece of cake to use. When shooting RAW, you don't have a choice.

Good question! Just try it and found EOS M can not shot in RAW for HDR and hand Handheld Night Scene. It will automatically switch to JPG for those 2 modes. The other modes can do RAW format.

Generaly no. I'm using it in full frame camera. Depend on the perspective and correction of aberration for the raw file you may have to recompose the frame .

Yes. It does not have adjustable power, though, so you're stuck firing at full power. Also, the button is quite small, but it is possible to fire it manually without a camera or another flash.

No it does not have that ability. Pictures are in a selection of one shot, two shot or three shot.

Unfortunately not.....there are some improvements you can make if you are shooting RAW...but with a JPG you have less to work with. In short, a lousy shot is a lousy shot. If that is what your camera is giving you, time to look for a new camera (assuming of course that the individual's photo skills aren't the problem).

You can shoot in RAW at 8 frames per second for 11 shots (at continuous high mode). Samsung also supplies Intelli-studio and Samsung RAW converter software on the disk for handling images.

I am not sure what you mean by "raw" in regards to this product. I don't think it's cooked. I would contact the manufacturer.

WOW! 25 doesn't handle RAW? My HS10, my very first camera I've been using professionally (haha...yes!) does do RAW, and I love it. It is now going on the fritz...so I'm looking to upgrade. Thanks for all the great info. I'm stunned...with all the great new info and I'm really helped here. THANKS! Jinn

Out of the box, no. However, you can load CHDK, which is a third party firmware build that utilizes many features the camera is technically capable of, but that Canon did not build into an official firmware, including RAW format. This is the most recent generation of cameras that are CHDK compatible. http://lifehacker.com/387380/turn-your-point-and-shoot-into-a-super-camera

It does capture RAW with no difficulty. And most editing tools, from Lightroom on down to programs like Irfanview, easily manage that format.
