RAW images cannot be viewed without special imaging software, like Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, on a mobile device or your PC, but JPEG images can! If you shoot a RAW photo with your DJI product, a low-resolution JPEG will be saved in DJI GO for you to view, even if you do not select RAW+JPEG. While RAW images can be more easily manipulated during editing, they are not superior in every way. Shooting in RAW makes adjustment easier without a reduction in quality. Since RAW files contain unprocessed grayscale data, you won’t be out of luck even if you set your white balance incorrectly during shooting. The photo below was taken with the Phantom 4 Pro in JPEG and RAW formats.Īfter adjusting the color temperature and tone of the JPEG file, the image still does not look very good. Depending on what type of light you are shooting in and your white balance settings, you may end up with a color cast: a tint that gives your image unwanted coloration. With RAW images, you can also more easily correct white balance issues in post. After the same toning, the RAW image looks much more appealing and natural. Since no information is compressed in RAW, RAW files retain more details than JPEGs. When shadows and highlights are reduced, the trees in the foreground look somewhat unnatural, and the sun still looks overblown. Take a look at the edited JPEG image below. The main problem with JPEG images is that they are compressed, and the information is lost, so you don’t have as much control over how they look in post-production.
Adjusting tones in each format gives us a clearer picture of how JPEG and RAW differ from one another. The sun is a bit overexposed, and the foreground is a bit underexposed, so making the photo look natural will take some editing. The photo below was taken with the Zenmuse X5S in JPEG and RAW formats. The Difference in Highlights and Shadows in JPEG vs RAW What setting should you use? Let’s take a look at some advantages and disadvantages of shooting in JPEG vs RAW. In DJI GO 4 under Camera Settings, you will see there are three options for photo formats: JPEG, RAW, and JPEG+RAW.
