EOS 90D set to CRAW, photos indicate they're taken as JPG

[Ramsden]

Hi folks 

My EOS90D has been set to shooting in C Raw recently following an article that I read. Basically it said that C Raw doesn't use masses of space on the memory card.

I do very little post shooting editing, and when I used Raw in the past, I felt the photographs were sharp.

My question is why do my photos indicate that they are taken as a jpeg, when the camera is set to C Raw?

See screenshot.

Thanks in advance

Can you post a screenshot of the first page of the Red Shoot menu?

What does this show on your camera?

CRAW (Compact RAW in Canon terminology) are about 40% the size of standard RAW. It allows more storage and faster buffer clearing with almost imperceptible quality loss. 
Based on the tag beneath your image it looks like imported the image to a cellphone or tablet. They will generally convert to JPEG on import to save storage on the device.

Thanks John 

Yes that makes sense 

I have canon connect on my Samsung phone and ipad.

Its not a problem, I was just curious why 

Thanks

Ramsden,

I  shoot on C-RAW almost exclusively. To my inexperienced eye, I can't really tell any difference between RAW and C-RAW.

Are you using any Special Scene or Creative Filter Modes or HDR Modes? Those are usually rendered as jpgs.

I know that for posting in the Forum, you have to convert your RAW to jpg. Maybe that's what's going on.

When I convert mine, I usually try to resize them down to 800X 600 pixels or so.

Hi Steve 

Thanks.

I'll check my settings. I'm still learning what everything does on the camera!
