This high resolution ensures clarity and sharpness especially when images are displayed on larger screens or used for print materials. Minimum File Size Each image file must be at least 5 MB in size.

The RAW format retains the maximum amount of image data captured by the camera sensor allowing for greater flexibility and quality control during post-processing and editing.

This widescreen format is ideal for modern displays and ensures that images appear correctly proportioned without distortion or unnecessary cropping providing a cinematic and engaging visual experience.
