| Description | The ORF (Olympus Raw Format) is a digital camera raw image format used by Olympus cameras. It is a proprietary format that stores the unprocessed sensor data captured by the camera's image sensor, along with metadata such as exposure, white balance, and camera settings. |
| Technical details | The ORF format uses lossless compression to reduce the file size of the raw image data, while preserving the full dynamic range and color depth of the original image. It typically stores 12- or 14-bit per channel color information, depending on the camera model. ORF files can be processed using software provided by Olympus, or third-party raw image processing software that supports the format. Common adjustments made during processing include white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. |
