Panasonic RAW FormatThe RW2 image format is a raw image file type primarily used by Panasonic digital cameras, especially those in the Lumix series. As a raw format, RW2 files contain unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor, which means they retain all the detail and dynamic range captured during the shot. This makes RW2 files ideal for photographers who wish to have full control over image editing, as it allows for more flexibility in adjusting parameters like exposure, white balance, and color grading compared to compressed formats like JPEG.
