RAW images are proprietary files that high-end compacts, interchangeable lens cameras and SLRs produce. If you regularly update your camera equipment, or have just bought a new camera and want to view RAW files without installing the bundled software, download the new Microsoft codec packs for Windows Vista, 7, 8 or RT.
The codec pack lets tools like Windows Explorer and Photo Gallery view RAW files from a number of new (and not so new) cameras, including:
-
Canon: EOS M, EOS-1D X, PowerShot G1 X, PowerShot G12, PowerShot G15, PowerShot S100 and PowerShot S110
-
Konica Minolta: Alpha Sweet Digital, Alpha-5 digital, Dynax 5D and Maxxum 5D
-
Nikon: 1 J2, Coolpix P7000 and Coolpix P7100
-
Olympus: OM-D E-M5, Pen E-PL2, Pen E-PL3 and Pen E-PM1, XZ-1
-
Panasonic: Lumix DMC-FZ150, Lumix DMC-G3, Lumix DMC-GF2, Lumix DMC-GF3 and Lumix DMC-GH2
-
Samsung: NX10, NX20 and NX1000
