Is it better to shoot in JPEG or RAW?

Raw offers more creative processing flexibility The JPEG processing applied by the camera is designed to produce a good-looking image right out of the camera, and this processing cannot be undone. A raw file, on the other hand, is processed by you; so you can decide how the image will look.

What is the difference between Raw and JPEG files?

– With a JPEG, white balance is applied by the camera, and there are fewer options to modify it in post-processing. – Lost detail in overexposed highlights cannot be recovered in a JPEG. – The same is true of darker, underexposed images. – Noise reduction can be more effectively applied to a raw file than a JPEG.

Is shooting raw or JPEG better for You?

There are so many benefits of shooting RAW in terms of how much flexibility you have with the files, as well as the raw data in the files. However, as time goes on, I’m starting to lean more towards shooting JPEG and realize the benefits of doing so. First of all, the camera does a good job of processing JPEG images in-camera.
