EOS 7D RAW photos blown out but JPGs are OK

[MNshutterbug]

I shoot the Canon 7D and this camera I've typically used for wildlife and jpeg was always good enough for my purposes. Recently I've been shooting in RAW plus jpeg and I noticed this evening after shooting images of swans that the RAW files all showed blown out areas that I was unable to recover. However, the jpegs showed detail in the highlights and shadows. I'd expect it to be the opposite. This makes no sense to me.

Greetings,

Please use a file sharing service and post a link so we can download and evaluate these photos.  Post 2-3  of each.  We will be happy to take a look at them for you.

If you are not using Canon glass, tell us about the lenses and accessories you're shooting with.

The first of each pair is the Raw file. The highlights are blown a little on the jpegs but not near as bad as the CR2s. What's interesting is, I took a photo of my neighbor's back yard today with a white playhouse and purposely over exposed a bit and saw the opposite this time with the RAW files showing more detail in the highlights.

Don't use Google Photo because Google Photo destroys the CR2 files.

See details here how it destroyed the raw files for another user https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/EOS-R6-Mark-II-Noisy-Lack-of-Sharpnes...

Use Google Drive (don't forget to rightt click and share if you use Google Drive), WeTansfer or Dropbox.

They actually came from my Google Drive and I copied and pasted the links. Guess I better check out drop box and see what that's all about.

Let's see if this works - [removed link for safety]

You should be able to upload directly now.

Can I just share the link for each photo from drop box? If I choose upload, it wants to upload to my Google Drive.

You should be able to drag and drop your raw file into the box below

OR
tap the camera icon and make sure the red upload button is active instead of URL & drag & drop the files onto the canvas:

BUT YES, you can share a Dropbox link.
