| Description | The MRW format is a proprietary image file format used by Minolta digital cameras. It is also known as the Konica Minolta Raw Image File, and it stores the unprocessed data captured by the camera's image sensor. |
| Technical details | The MRW format uses lossless compression to reduce the file size of the raw image data. It typically includes information about the camera settings used to capture the image, such as the exposure time, aperture, ISO setting, and white balance. The MRW format is similar to other raw image formats such as CRW and NEF, in that it allows for greater control over the processing of the image data after it has been captured. However, it can only be opened and edited using specific software such as Adobe Photoshop or specialized software provided by Konica Minolta. |
