RAW Images

RAW images are raw data from the image sensor that are recorded to the card digitally as or (smaller than ) files, depending on your selection.

You can use Digital Photo Professional (EOS software) to process RAW images. You can make various adjustments to images depending upon how they will be used and can generate JPEG or other types of images reflecting the effects of those adjustments.

See Specifications for details on file size, number of shots available, maximum burst, and other estimated values.

Maximum Burst for Continuous Shooting

The estimated maximum burst is shown on the top of the shooting screen.

Note

When the maximum burst in still photo shooting is indicated as “99,” you can shoot 99 shots or more continuously. Fewer shots are available for a value of 98 or lower, and when [BUSY] is displayed on the shooting screen, internal memory is full and shooting will stop temporarily. If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After all captured images have been written to a card, you can once again shoot at the maximum burst listed in Specifications.

How do I take sharp pictures with my Canon M50?

Use Single Shot (not Servo) and move the small AF point to an eye. The M50 with the EF-M 22mm should be very capable of taking a nice sharp image if you get the setting right - it is a sharp prime lens.

Is the Canon M50 good for pictures?

The Canon M50 is decent for sports and wildlife photography. It has a high maximum shutter speed, allowing you to capture still images of fast-moving subjects, and a consistent and quick autofocus system. Image quality is good even at relatively high ISO settings, which is good for less well-lit environments.
