How to Enable RAW Photos:

Benefits of Shooting RAW:
- More Flexibility in Editing: RAW photos contain more information than JPEGs, giving you greater control over adjustments like exposure, white balance, and contrast.
- Higher Image Quality: RAW files retain more detail, particularly in shadows and highlights, resulting in better overall image quality.
- Preserve Original Data: JPEGs compress data, resulting in some loss of information. RAW files preserve the original data, allowing for more editing without degrading quality.
